A couple of years ago - can’t remember exactly how many but l can guess five - John Norum said in an interview the time had come to go full circle and write a melodic rock album.

In an interview only last year Ian Haugland said in an interview Joey in their weekly band meeting had just presented a new great ”melodic rock” track for the new album.

There have been a couple of strong signs. Of course it can put they did’nt write that Mel rock album and that track presented last year didn’t make the cut.
