It’s time to reveal something we’ve been working on for a few months. On December 22. Aldaria is back with a brand new single.
It is mixed and mastered by the great Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios Jacob is of course known for his work with Volbeat, Amaranthe, Primal Fear among many others.
‘When The Time Has Come’ will be sold only digitally, and ALL income will be donated to Cancer Research. This is a very important cause for me [Frode Hovd], having lost my mother to this horrible disease in 2010.
It will be available on all digital platforms, as well as in our webstore, where you will get a high resolution cover-art, lyrics and an instrumental version
