August 14, 2006

Brazilian prog-metal band THESSERA has just signed a deal with the North American label ProgRock Records (FRAMESHIFT, CHAIN, OLIVER WAKEMAN, GUY MANNING). Three songs from the band's debut album, "Fooled Eyes", are available on THESSERA's official MySpace page.

Impressed by the dream he just had, Andrew answers a phone call, only to find that this is where the real nightmare begins...
