On the main page you can find that message by Mr Norum for all of us, with a GREAT NEWS:

Last year was a busy year for me, late 2004 Europe Start From The Dark was released, and my wife and I had a baby on the same day!

September 22nd, 2004, from there it was non stop. First the European tour, then off to Japan and the States, then we did festivals all summer. My solo album Optimus came out in March, 2005, I did promo for that somewhere in between it all. After the summer tour we released our live DVD. Right now we are writing for the next Europe CD planning the next John Norum solo album, which I plan to record both this year. We are adding a merchandise section, sound clips and plan to add an equipment section, and write a letter every now and then about what's goin' on. Thanks a lot and take care. John Norum

So, very soon we'll have 2 great brand new albums!!! Stay tuned and keep on rockin'!!!
