Hi everybody!We’ve had a really busy spring, putting the album together with the guys. These “last minute” ideas and fixes have become come very important for the Black Roses album, so all the waiting is worth it! For example we brought this eight years old song idea back to life. It’s a duet song. I got a wild idea to ask the Nightwish singer Anette Olzon to sing it together with me. I called her and she said YES! So good things come for those who wait. Were getting there!

ps. Prepare yourselves for the greatest murder ballad in a while!!!
