We’ve achieved more than we ever thought was possible both musically and technologically.

However, the time is right to take The War of The Worlds in new directions after the 2014 tour. I am so very appreciative of the fantastic support over the years from so many established fans as well as numerous new ones we’ve attracted. Thank you all sincerely.
