It’s incredible to team up with Jochen Richertand his entire supportive staff! We have known Jochen for years and also worked successfully together in the past. This is the beginning of a new chapter in the history ofLEAVES’ EYES!”

LEAVES’ EYES are one of the leading bands in their genre and we know that Liv and her band are professional in every way. In addition, we know each other for many years and get along so well. So LEAVES’ EYES for us is the ‘total package’ and we are delighted and proud to be their new label home.”

LEAVES’ EYES recently entered Mastersound Studios in Steinheim, Germany to begin recording its new full-length CD for a late 2015 release. Liv states: “The album’s concept is rooted in a highly important chapter in the history of Norway. The sagas of Norway’s kings and the Middle Ages has always been of great interest to me and it’s such a pleasure to compose and record this huge soundtrack with my dream team here at Mastersound Studio. Thanks to my guys for these enchanting tunes and killer production!”
