The album was released a few days ago and has been uploaded to all music platforms. It features the return of the legendary Simon Phillips from the bands TOTO and Protocol as drummer and music co-producer. And the main vocalist is again Ronnie Romero - the star of Rainbow. In fact, this is Romero's third album with the Intelligent Music Project. The new thing is that in it, for the first time, he co-authored the music of two of the songs together with Biser Ivanov and Ivo Stefanov, and the lyrics are entirely his.
