The band comments:
“We’re incredibly relieved and grateful to have our band back, and absolutely blown away by the response to the first new releases. ‘Stars We See’ is a sneak peek to the new soundscapes and themes we discovered during our break and it represents the more hopeful side of the upcoming album.
“This track will undoubtedly make its way into the setlist of the Painstream Tour, kicking off in November. We strongly recommend experiencing this new chapter live. Get your tickets and we’ll see you out there!”
