The band spent a very, very long time making this album and they’re extremely proud of it. The emperor is tinkering with technology on this one as it will be an online-only release. This anticipated follow up to the band’s debut release a couple of years back has quite a few tricks up its sleeves. It will be available through I-tunes, Amazon and all other major digital media distributors October, 2007. If you absolutely have to have a hard copy, accommodations will be made in very limited numbers. Contact Tiberius for more...
