This week we finally completed the works on Aftereal! Album’s release is scheduled for December 1st in Europe and January 13th in North America.
We can also finally reveal the identity of the last of our guest musicians. All lead vocals on the song “Closer” were performed by one of the most distinctive singers in the metal scene – mr. Tom Englund of Evergrey. This cooperation has a very special meaning to us as Evergrey has been a huge inspiration to us ever since we started Exlibris.
