I am very proud of this album, as I am convinced, we have written a very refreshing and well-balanced album even after so many years of existence. Our strength is that we have many great songwriters in our band. We managed to combine each other’s strongest qualities and selected the best songs. It was a fruitful period of spending time together to work as a team on those tracks. I think this made the biggest difference compared to our previous albums. I think I have listened to Omega for about 50 times already and still can’t get enough of it!
