hey!
we are trying to change something...
our new singer erik can't be a full member of dreamscape because the stess to travel a lot is affecting his health.
so we decided to work with more than one singer - honestly we will work with even more than two...
hopefully you will like that idea! we like it a lot because we will be very flexible and our sound will become even more complex!
kind regards!
DREAMSCAPE (progressive metal from germany)
(new cd november 2009! - buy or let die!)

PS: always believe in your dreams! and don't get frightened if they are becoming real! - because for a believer they will!

Hey,
This is a message directed to all the people who've commented us in the last 2-3 weeks.

We've been incredibly busy lately and haven't had the time to personally answer every comment - but we just wanted to let you know that we still read all your comments, still very much enjoy them, and still greatly appreciate your kind words and support! :)

Good news is that we'll be recording some new songs with our awesome producer in one month! so stay tuned, sign up to our mailing list and we'll let you know when they're out of the oven and ready to be gobbled up by your hungry ears ;)

Hope to hear from you again soon!

Cheers
Gil
