Since we're all close to the end of 2020 I'd like to spend some words about my experience this year.
It was a weird and disappointing year in a way... But..
On the other hand I had the chance to plant some seeds for the next couple of years ahead as well as taking a break from touring and being able to spend more time with my family, so it was a positive year as well in a way.

And finally here's the complete Official Guitar Playthrough of my new song "The None" featuring the Mercuriall Audio Plug ins "Euphoria", "SS-11x" and "Reaxis".
The song will be available for streaming on Spotify, Itunes and all the major platforms soon.
About the Album
This 10-track instrumental prog metal opus represents three years of intensive creative work and marks my most complete musical statement to date. Every instrument has been performed and produced by myself, with guest appearances by Jay Parmar on "Pulse" and "Magnolia Ave" (solos 2 and 4). The stunning cover artwork is created by Mark Bridgeman.
The Title's Meaning
The title completes a full circle that began with my first EP "Evolution" in 2008 - this album represents the final chapter of that 17-year artistic journey. Beyond personal evolution, the title also addresses contemporary social themes: the unnecessary and potentially risky overuse of AI, cyber media, and information overload in our modern world.
First Single: "Undercurrent"
The album opens with "Undercurrent", a powerful metaphor for events unfolding in the shadow of seemingly larger occurrences. Written in 2020, the song reflects on significant historical events of our current century.
