With his new album, the Hawaiian Troy Von Balthazar chooses to devote
himself body and soul to music. We hear it in the songs.
This Lunar character, charismatic and deeply moving, creates a melodic
atmosphere completely intense and always interesting. His music is
powerful, and Troy Von Balthazar isn't copying anyone. We feel it, and
we fall into the music.
...is with the demon will be released on CD, Vinyl & mp3 on October 8th 2012 (Vicious Circle, distribution Differ-Ant, Believe)
TracklistingEnjoy the first excerpt of the album on Youtube & Soundcloud!
