<p>After a first album under a side project <strong>distributed internationally by Mighty Music</strong> (Denmark), many French gigs and shared stages<strong>(No Return, Manigance, ADX ..</strong>) and a tour in Spain and Portugal ( <strong>Support CAGE</strong>), this new project aims to be able to represent and export the tri-color banner with a sharp hard / heavy style, <strong>old school roots</strong> directly taken from the 80's where this style was at its peak, creating wellknown rockstars. Thanks to a EPK recorded in home-studio at the end of 2017<strong>, the group attracts the attention of a management and booking agency in London</strong>, specialized Heavy Metal, including in its roster several internationally renowned artists including Y<strong>ngwie Malmsteen, Doro , Michael Schenker, Tarja, Lita Ford, Loudness, Dokken</strong> ...

<p> </p>
<p>To do this, the band will have the pleasure of recording at home at <strong>Studio 809</strong> in Toulouse which support the group in its project. The recording will be done <strong>in the old fashioned way</strong> on a <strong>FULLY ANALOGUE NEVE Hardware (1987)</strong> that is well known in the middle in order to reproduce as closely as possible the heat, the grain and the depth of the hard / heavy sound that we are looking for and that delights the fans of the genre in an era where digital is becoming more and more important.</p>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<p><strong>The total budget of the project exceeding 10 000€</strong>, we tighten our belts and eat pasta for several months to invest our savings in our passion which <strong>allows us to assume nearly 70% of the costs related to this project</strong>, but today<strong> we need a little help from you to the tune of 3000 € in order to concretize it</strong> which will bring far the colors of France, still too little represented nowadays in the metal style.</p>

<p>At each step, <strong>we will keep you informed of the progress of the album</strong>, on Facebook <strong>and especially via a donor VIP space</strong> with an exclusive EPK version of one of the songs of the album, the "True Stories" of the band, photos / videos, the beginning of the recording, the release of the first extracts,<strong> we will stay closer to you, the donors, who give life to this project!</strong></p>
<p>A member of the Wings of Decay group will receive all donations on behalf of the group with the exception of the 8% KissKissBankBank fee.</p>
<p>If by chance the objective is reached and exceeded, we will be able to take more trips and thus organize more dates in France as well as a more varied merchandising, can be a limited vinyl print if the means allow it, so do not hesitate , <strong>the realization of this project: IT'S YOU! </strong></p>
