Les Niçois ont mis en ligne 2 morceaux + une vidéo qui mixe des extraits de l'album et des images de leur illustrateur, comme il l'ont si bien expliqué en ... Niçois :

I've added a new video to our space. It's an overview of The Fall Of An Empire, illustrated by the drawings of Genzo, our official illustrator. Compression killed it a bit, but I still hope you enjoy...

coup dur pour le groupe, vu sur leur forum: Anthony Parker (guitariste soliste) a decidé de quitter Fairyland. Thomas Cesario (guitariste soliste) et Vincent Kreyder (batteur) ont décidé de le suivre.

Maxime Leclercq, le chanteur, et Philippe Giordana, le compositeur et claviériste restent pour maintenir le cap.

FAIRYLAND Announce Lineup Changes; Issue Statement

Philippe Giordana, keyboardist/ backing vocalist for French syphonic metallers FAIRYLAND, has issued the following update:
"Anthony (guitars), Vincent (drums), Tom (guitar, bass) and Max (vocals) have decided to leave Fairyland and go on with their own project. The reasons for their departure have not been clearly expressed, and the way they handled the whole business, with direct annoucement on Fairyland's forum prior to any kind of discussion with Intromental Management, Napalm Records, Marquee Avalon, Burrn! Corporation or even me, was not very professional. However, it is their decision and I wish them all the luck they will need to make their new project break through.

Regarding Fairyland, I am and have always been the songwriter, also taking care of the lyrics and vocal lines, plus the concept behind my music. So there is no reason why I should stop doing so. The only point I need to think about is whether I will try and build a new lineup, or just stay by myself and use guest musicians from different horizons. That last solution is quite appealing, since it can bring a lot of diversity to Fairyland, plus it will mean I don't have to handle a lineup's personal issues, which is really time consuming. I'll then be able to concentrate on the music only, and all will be best.

Meanwhile, stay tuned to get a whole bunch of informations about Fairyland's next releases.

Special thanks go to Intromental Management and Napalm Records, who have decided to keep their thrust in the project. Thanks to all those who brought me support these last 2 weeks, and thanks to all the fans everywhere. We will meet again...

Philippe Giordana."
