Album #2 finished

The new Alternative 4 album 'The Obscurants' is all finished, mixed, and sounding great. A slight continuation from The Brink, although not as monotonous and morose the subject matter still deals with the abuse of power. Musically it goes off at almost progressive tangents in parts, and new vocalist Simon Flatley has done a stellar job. The album will be release via Prophecy Productions in 2014.

New singer/guitarist

I'm pleased to announce the recruitment of singer/guitarist Simon Flatley to the band. Simon joined up with us for 'The Obscurants' recording sessions last month, making a vital contribution to the shape of the album. 

Looking forward to the New Year and an exciting new musical chapter.
