What happened to Adagio's new album that was supposed to have come out years ago? Their latest, Archangels In Black, came out back in 2009 already. In 2013, they shared new demo songs and expected to release the new record that year. However, that didn't happen. The proggers are now launching a crowdfunding campaign to help with the costs as they are releasing the new album, Life, through Stéphan Forté's label Zeta Nemesis.

Here is their message: "You Are The Label! Since the beginning of our career, like most bands, Adagio has been working with third party record labels. Today, after a successful test with Stéphan's 2nd solo album Enigma Opera Black, we have decided to sign Adagio and release our fifth album Life along with the band's back catalogue (Archangels In Black excepted) through Stéphan's label Zeta Nemesis. The Zeta Nemesis team will fully handle publishing, management, merchandising, PR, marketing, graphic design, web design, physical and digital distribution duties internally.

"Now, to do things correctly, releasing music internationally requires a huge investment (approximately 50.000 Euros). For a young label such as Zeta Nemesis, without the backing of any investors, it's almost impossible to obtain the funds required to release Life properly. So we've been thinking, and realized the most obvious fact ever! Who are the buyers? The fans. So, why should we ask anyone besides the fans for an advance?

"Zeta Nemesis has already financed half of the costs, approximately 25.000 Euros. To cover the second half of these expenses and release this new Adagio album under the best possible circumstances, we need your support. In exchange, not only will you be able to preorder the new Adagio album, but since the label is now the band, we have some fantastic and rare Adagio items to offer you! So get ready to be part of Adagio and see you on Indiegogo on May 5!"
