At long last our favourite Dutch progressive metallers have announced their return with not only one album but two!

Set to release the first in the series of album entitled Phenotype, the album will be a composition of tracks that amount to sixty minutes in total. Loosely a concept record the two both tie into each other. Set for a February 5th release the first of the double album will be a more straight forward affair.

A year later the band will released the second album, one continuous forty five minute track entitled “Genotype”. As with the classic double album the root of the idea behind the Pheno and Geno is the idea of contrast. With the first record having shorter more accessible songs and the other disc containing supremely Progessive leanings.

Though not only are the band releasing a double album but have also announced a slew of European tour dates. Embarking on the Oceans Collide Tour the band will perform in London at the hallowed Underworld.
