"This is a great honor for us and a massive step forward for the band," says the band's mastermind and songwriter Tomer Pink. "I've been a fan of Kjetil work since the early Green Carnation albums, this is a dream come true!"
Kjetil Nordhus says: "I have known about Subterranean Masquerade for years, since Green Carnations time together with them on The End Records. They deserve a lot of respect for their releases until now, and when the opportunity came along to participate on their next album, it was certainly something that triggered me. I am very happy for this new musical challenge and I am eager to share the music with old and new fans of Subterranean Masquerade. I have met Paul a few times on Green Carnation tours and festival, and I have been a fan of Novembers Doom and his vocal style for years. To be a co-singer together with Paul is also something that makes this very exciting for me."

Kjetil is joining a line-up including drummer Matan Shmuely (Orphaned Land), keyboardist Shai Yallin (Solstice Coil), guitarists Tomer Pink and Or Shalev and bassist Golan Farhi. "This is the first time we function like a band and not just a project, everyone brings his own signature and influences and together we've created something I think is very special."
