mikayel_abazyan Wow! S&M have granted us with something new! I recognize their style, their sound (even a short fragment from a song on their first album!), but I also feel this project has grown up and became something really serious.
"Stages" took them to a new stage of their growth! Favorite track: Life's Just Like A Song.

about

"Some stories are hard to tell, just as some songs are hard to sing..."
This is the story of a simple girl named Annie (but it could be anyone), from the day she started to sing to the day she had to. From pure and innocent passion to just a job to do. From the endless struggles to the happiness of achievement. From crisis to acceptance. "I guess it's better to fade away then it is to burn".

A concept album that touches many different genres and sounds, from rock to pop, from progressive to musical theatre, and many more. We started working on Stages in April, right before the release of Favete Linguis, our first album. Funnily enough, the first song we wrote is actually the last one on the album! The idea of the concept came later on and fitted perfectly.

Just like on Favete Linguis, we recorded the whole album on our own at home, sending tracks back and forth since we live pretty far away from each other. We are very proud of the result, expecially because we only have to thank ourselves for it.
We used the same equipment that we used on Favete Linguis: a whole bunch of plugins played on keyboards, a guitar and a microphone. We know it's very far from being professional but that's all we have, so if someone has any complaint about the sound quality can simply buy the album and we will spend the money in better equipment!
