I am so glad to see Firma back on track! After a rather long break, that many people thought was the end of this band, they came back in force with Descantece vol. I and I couldn’t be happier to know that it wasn’t a one time event and that they seem …

I am the first one to admit I’m a giant un-objective Arjen fangirl and that I will be mega-excited about anything this guy puts out, no matter the label it’s under. Also that his “guess the vocalist” pre-album games on Facebook are the most effective teaser he could ever lay …
