Comments bass player Alex on the release, “Today is the day! »Gateways« is finally out!
We couldn’t be happier with the album and finally we can share it with you. We proudly present the new video for ‘Reset’. The video was made for us by Icelandic production company Obbosí. We’ve always been fans of fun music videos and we don’t like to take ourselves too seriously when it comes to making videos. We had a blast making this one and we’re super happy with how it turned out. Hope you like it as much as we do!”

Order »Gateways« now, here.
