Lengthy negotiations started and went on until April when the band finally decided not to sign for NUCLEAR BLAST since the contract was not satisfying enough. Further labels expressing their sincere interest were CANDLELIGHT and EARACHE but neither of these managed to meet the demands of the band for a contract not too limiting or label centered.

 

The band decided to push onwards in their search and decided to set up their own website in the interim period. The choice of website designer fell on Daniel from Neverland, also responsible for among others the No Tolerance Records website. Apart from this, work on the new album continued throughout the year, ever a subject of constant reconstruction and improvement.
