BREAKING NEWS!!

Ok, you might as well hear it from me first. 
So the Unifaun album, that caught the attention of mr Stolt
some 3½ years ago, lead up to the Agents of Mercy´s birth.
As they say, "one thing leads to another" - very true!
After three albums (plus a live album) with AOM this happens;
About a month ago, I got a call from Steve Hackett (Genesis).
He said he is in the process of making a sequal to his Genesis revisited album 
"Watcher of the Skies" (1996). He wondered if I would be interested in recording
three songs for Genesis revisited II, namely - "Eleventh Earl of Mar", "The Musical Box"
and "The Chamber of 32 Doors". (It will be a double album, and apart from myself on vocals
there will be people like Steven Wilson, Nik Kershaw and John Wetton among others.)
I would be a fool to say no, right? So off I went to London two days ago. 
Spent almost the whole of wednesday in the studio with Steve, his lovely wife Jo and his right hand ROger King -
just trying out things and also getting to know each other a bit. The chemestry was there from the word go!

Thing is - this will go on the road in 2013, and Steve wants me to perform the whole show
as his singer and frontman, singing old Genesis classics. Did I die and go to heaven? Almost think so!
Tour dates in Great Britain and Europe is yet to be confirmed. 
A little teaser is, that I will join Steve and his band on stage June the 24 (this year) on the Isle of Wight 
festival to sing "Watcher of the Skies". No batwings and cape, but I will make do with what I have, my voice.

Roine and Jonas are very busy this year with the long awaited Flower Kings reunion,
and who knows how long they will be touring. 
So this gives me a little time to do something else too.
AOM fans - fear not! We will be back in the studio around November/December for AOM4!

Hope this piece of news is as exciting for some of you that it is to me!

Stay tuned - all my love,
Nad
