A bit under a year ago, my friend Michael Sheppard and I released our first album. I'm super excited to present our second album, Toward Hope.

@jcsteh Damn! It sounds brilliant. I've listened to it from the begining to the end in one go right away.
It's your and Michael's style and at the same time you have something unique in there.
I like the song "It'll Be Alright" the most. Do I hear correctly you have some guest vocalists in this song?
I find "Scourge" something you have very likelly taken off.
And also "Smoke and Splinters" is very nice too.
It's all great and heartening.

Thanks to both of you including your close friends and families. My all time nth degree favorite piece is "CruelToBeKind".

@pvagner Thanks Peter. Really appreciate the kind feedback. The two guest vocalists in It'll Be Alright are my two sons, first my 12 year old in the orchestral section, then my 10 year old right near the end. What do you mean when you say "you have very likely taken off" regarding Scourge? I didn't quite get it, haha. Wow, Cruel to be Kind is a blast from the past! I have a special place for that song, even if it's from a previous era. I feel like you've followed our music since the very beginning. Thank you for that. :)

@jcsteh Regarding sourge I wanted to say it's kind of special, mixture of genres, a bit of electronic at the start, then metal, and that unusual singing immediatelly before the last chorus. I hope you had fun while arranging that.

@pvagner Ah thanks. Yes, that piece was a great deal of fun to put together. :)
