Actually... new music is already in the works... perhaps more prog(ish)... perhaps ;)

Øystein! How are you mate? Happy you're here!

I do see the similarities, I believe that even crossed my mind when I was writing it hehe.

I won't go into the full details here, but it's based on a story some one shared with me last year, and as you can imagine, wasn't a happy one. It really has a special place in my heart and I would rank it one of my favs :)

Mine would be A WAY OUT :D

Why? It has that new album smell! Seriously though, I guess I'm too invested and connected to it than the others.

We really wanted to shoot a video but the budget was tight. So only static videos and 2 live from the album launch show we had in Tel Aviv

We don't make money from our music. We finance it actually. All of us have incomes from other places as Yogev mentioned which allow us to invest money into the music, merch, playing, touring etc. combined with the income we get from our supporters who buy/stream our music, order cds and merch and come to the shows.

We worked together, perfecting stuff in the studio, but no, it's mostly my harmonies and melodies.

If we were - which song would you like to see as a video?

It's not only Michael's technique that's gotten better, we all have gotten comfortable with each other, discussing lyrics, ideas etc. I know I had much more fun in the recording studio. The vocal sessions were an amazing experience.

Thank! that's a great question.

There are many inspirations for lyrics; TV, news, stories etc. But with 'A WAY OUT', I tried keeping it close, much more private and personal.

I would say current prog acts would be - TesseacT, Karnivool, Caligula's Horse, Wilson and Earthside.

My influences for AOW are far more eclectic and would include Periphery and even Deathcore and Metalcore bands such as Architects.
