The guitarist of the band posted on the band's website the following message concerning the new album and also talking about some live perfomances the band had:

"Hello Everybody!

Well, after a long., long time we have the pleasure to announce you that our latest album "Teluric Manifesto" has been finally mastered. Now we just need to give the last touches to the layout and then send the finished stuff to Aftermath Music in Norway.

We also have to apologize for the big delay we had on finishing the album. Regrettably most of the delay was due to Raphael (sound engineer) having personal issues that made him not to be available for a long time to work with us, so we didn't have a lot to do regarding this uncomfortable situation. Anyway, our apologies go to all of you!

All we can say about the new album is that the music is quite challenging, as every song has a good amount of experimentation and complexity, but still retaining the essence of our style. On this same subject, now you have the chance to download "Dreamsectary", the song that opens the album from the multimedia/download section of this site. Soon we will probably be uploading another song, so you can get a more accurate picture of how the album sounds like. Enjoy!

We have also finished a series of four gigs on which we started testing some of the new songs on a live environment. First we played in Valparaiso, at the anniversary party of the Metalogia website. This time some technical problems made this gig a bit difficult to endure, but regardless of the technical issues, and the fact that we had to cut our set before we expected; it was a good and needed comeback to the stages.

After that we went to Concepción, and this time things went a lot better. Our gratitude goes to Daniel Pino (Orodruin Productions) for making everything work fine and for being such a cool guy. The crowd reaction was simply amazing (thanks to everyone who supported us that night), and the technical part of the gig was also O.K.

As weird as it sounds, the last time we had played in Santiago (our Hometown) was on August '04, so we really needed to play at home again. This finally happened at "La Batuta", a mid sized venue known for having a good sound. However, the expectations were uncertain, as this gig was going to take place on a cold Tuesday night, right after a long weekend, so we didn't know how the turnout was going to be. Fortunately, our die-hard audience showed it's loyalty and attended to this show. This, plus the great sound we had this time, made the Santiago show one of the highlights of this year for us.

Finally we carried our stuff to Talca to play at "El Bar de Perikles", the bar of a friend who used to be our soundman a couple centuries ago. As expected, the venue was quite small, forcing us to make miracles to fit all of our gear and humanities onstage. Anyway, small venues are cool to play into, and this was no exception. Another cool thing: the good vibe we had with the other bands that also played that night: One Man's Hell and Amoris Umbra: good people all of them (cheers!). Thanks to everyone who was there that night.

Right now we are finishing the artwork and layout of the album. There are no gigs scheduled so far, except for a possible trip, on a date still to be announced, to Antofagasta, a place we really long to visit again, as the last time we were there we had a blast and such an amazing show.

The good news is that we have a new Webmaster: Mr. Adam Pejcha, who is also in charge of the Polish website doing a great job there. Soon both sites will be the same, and we will re-launch the official-unified site, with some nice (and necessary) improvements, so be aware!

Keep visiting the website.

Thanks Everybody

Igor Leiva"
