New Single From The Circle Of Wonders!

Hello everyone! I've returned with a tiny piece of my next concept album - after a grueling 7 months of construction during the renovation of my house (my wife, son, and I were sleeping in my studio so I couldn't work, write, or play music at all during that time), I was able to begin work on the follow up to IV: Timber this past summer. It's still quite a ways away from release (still have a lot to write - let alone arrange, record, mix, etc), but I wanted to share a song before the year is up. Dear Heather, the first song from V: The Mirror, and it's now available to stream!

As far as the story behind this song goes, the year is 1951 - Joseph writes a letter to his old high school sweetheart, Heather - now long married to the wealthiest man in town. Though more than a decade has passed since graduation, his love for her hasn't faded. What he's seen through his peculiar magic mirror (more on that later) has convinced him that her husband, Peter, can't appreciate the depth of what he has. Because of this, Joseph believes he's the only one who truly understands Heather's worth.

As always, thanks so much for listening and for supporting the last two albums! This subreddit, along with r/progmetal and r/thefence were three of the subreddits that were super supportive of the last two albums, so I really hope you enjoy the beginning to this new chapter!
