No covers just yet, but they will obviously be incredible. Are you perched for COSMIC EXPLORER? I know I am!
Pre-order the 2CD/2CD+DVD/2CD+Blu-ray.
Update (March 10th): The covers are here! Obsess over the symmetry with me, will you? They’re so neat and clean, a definite step up from LEVEL 3.
Thanks for posting this. ^_^ I’ve never heard of them before so I’ve popped on Spotify to give their stuff a listen 🙂 I need more Japanese artist in my collection.
No problem! If you need any recommendations, get in touch. 😊
