Entry 4 – 22th February 2023 ‘Waiting on a new purpose‘ The long-awaited homecoming trip to Larissa finally arrived.

Interview to Daily Metal
Phase? As far as I know, you debuted with a cooperation with Microsoft. What was this cooperation about and what was the result? Microsoft was running this campaign when we were starting off recording as a band and we thought we’d go for it so we secured our name that some acts seemed to covet…
