The band also played a few very successful European dates as well as the renowned Baja Prog Festival in Mexico.2014 saw the band releasing several EP's containing acoustic versions of several songs from 'Euphoria' and 'Battle Scars' as well as re-workingsof older songs whilst they will also be writing for their next studio album. « hide |
