We are VERY pleased to announce that we have signed a deal with Japanese record label Spiritual Beast. The debut album, Far Beyond The Stars, will be released worldwide through Spiritual Beast and distributed in Japan via Universal Music.

The album will be released in Japan on March 21st and will feature an exclusive Japanese bonus track. European and North American release dates are soon to follow.

Far Beyond The Stars was recorded with Grammy nominated producer Andy La Rocque at Sonic Train Studios in Varberg, Sweden. The Instrumental track, 'Orb Of The Moons' also includes a guest keyboard solo from DRAGONLAND's Elias Holmlid.

The album tracklist is as follows:

'Somewhere Back In Time'
'Blackthorne'
'Reflected Life'
'Heavenly'
'Moongate'
'Orb Of The Moons'
'Silver Tide'

The CD will also be enhanced to include the music video for 'Somewhere Back In Time'.

We are extremely pleased with this fantastic partnership to say the least. Now we can move forward with the release of the album, and bring Ascension to the forefront of the worldwide metal scene at full force.”

I love what I've heard of Ascension on youtube and I want to buy the album, but I'm just wondering if there's been a "rest of the world" release yet, or do I have to purchase through a Japanese site?
 
OK, I've finally ordered the album from Japan today. I can hardly wait for it to arrive!!

I'm just curious to know why it takes so long to release an album without a bonus track when everything's already recorded.

Or is it just legal issues with with record companies?
