They premiered the lyric video for the track Endless Sea exclusively through Prog and TeamRock earlier this month. Now they've released the first update video from the recording process.

Lucassen says: "The moment I first heard Anneke singing with The Gathering back in the 90s I have loved her voice and knew I just had to work with her.

"Back then she was super busy so it took some persuading to get her to guest on my Ayeron album Into The Electric Castle. As I was working on this album and the tracks were slowly taking shape, I realised there was only one singer I knew could do the job - Anneke."

And Lucassen explains that before he could ask her if she wanted to take part in the project, van Giersbergen got in touch first to ask about a collaboration new material.
