“The seventh Into Eternity album is currently being recorded. The production is being handled by Mitch Fraser @ MF Studios and Justin Bender @ Divergent Sounds. Justin recently sent me a mix of a new song and it is a neck snapper! Can’t wait to release these new Into Eternity songs. Right now there is no ETA, but album 7 is on the way! It’s going to be worth the wait.”
