“Greetings everyone, I needed time to process everything that happened with AILD. I agree that there was an unhealthy environment that made continuing the tour unrealistic. It was difficult to agree on even the smallest details, but I am determined in my vision of the future AILDeven when others think it should go the other way.
As for the future: AILD is founded on persistence and determination. From 2000 to 2004, more than 20 people came through the band to help bring to life the vision I’ve had in my head since I was 19 years old. I am looking forward to creating a new team and an environment that will be supportive, positive and stimulating for creativity.
Album Through Storms Ahead will be released on November 15. I am proud of what we have created and look forward to sharing it with everyone.”
