The album was first released in Japan in the end of February, in North America March 13., and now the album is available in Europe.

The album will be streamable for one whole week at Recordshop X’s website.
The complete ‘Breaking the Stillness’ album is now available for streaming for one week at the Finnish site Inferno. In addition to the listenable songs, each track includes a short description by Lauri and Lari. Unfortunately the description are only in Finnish, but the album is streamable for everyone!
Breaking the Stillness has now been released in North America. We are super excited that the album is becoming available for more people. Europeans still have to wait a few weeks for the physical release of the album.
For people in North America looking to buy the physical album, the album can be bought for instance at Amazon.com.
For people looking to purchase the digital version of the album, it is now available on iTunes among other online stores.
