Fully following William J Tsamis and Mark Zonder’s wishes, SONS OF A DREAM MUSIC LLC will price all releases in all formats competitively, allowing fans with limited budget access to these otherwise unreachable until now epic works.

On other news, during November it will be released for first time officially from No Remorse Records on CD format (limited to 500 copies) the personal project of William J Tsamis called "Sea of Tranquility". It was recorded during 1993-1994 and was originally spread back then among very few friends of William J Tsamis via mail. "Sea of Tranquility" contains keyboards' recordings in New Age style and among these songs there are some melodies that later were used in Lordian Guard songs. William J Tsamis considers this music as the music of his heart and in the booklet of the CD release, there will be detailed written all the story behind it's creation and the time William J Tsamis compose it. The remaster of these songs is already completed by Nick Papakostas at Entasis Studio.

"Sea of Tranquility was written during a time of great despair in my life - indeed during a time of deep contemplation. It is music for the contemplative listener and music for the inspiration. I have always told people that if they truly want to understand who I am, then they should listen carefully to Sea of Tranquility. It is within those compositions where my soul lives."

Prepare for the EXPERIENCE of a LIFETIME                                                                                             

As it is officially announced from Keep It True Festival:

Finally we are able to announce our big Saturday headliner. We tried the band since KIT 1 and now it becomes reality: Legendary WARLORD with William J Tsamis and Mark Zonder will headline the KEEP IT TRUE Saturday. This will be the first show of WARLORD since the two shows in 2002 in Wacken and Itzehoe. There will also be a brand new album released in 2013. So be prepared for the mighty return of WARLORD. Here are also some words from William J Tsamis himself:

"Warlord is very happy to be coming to the Keep It True festival this April 2013.  As you may know, there was a lot of tension whether Warlord should play Keep It True or Headbangers Open Air.  I have great respect for the promoters of HOA and I have great respect for Oliver Weinsheimer, the promoter of Keep It True.  In the end, however, our decision was based on one simple factor - and that was "the fans."  Apart from researching the venues and corroborating with our peers from other respected metal bands, it all came down to what the fans were saying. Our intelligence sources followed numerous discussions on the internet, and it was clear that the fans at Keep It True seemed to want Warlord more than the fans of Headbangers Open Air.  Thus, "Warlord is coming like a thunderstorm to deliver "epic power metal" in a way that you cannot even imagine… and we are doing it for "the fans" because we love "the fans."  In fact, to us, it's all about "the fans".  So when the fans tell us by a 10 to 1 margin that we should play Keep It True, we listen to the fans because our radar is up and running and our satellites are watching the situation.  We hope the energy and affection at Keep it True will be able to match the passion, power and shock that Warlord will bring, because what we have in store for you is something that you cannot even imagine!"

Until then, all the best,

William J Tsamis"

There is also a huge thrill and emotion among the Greek fans for the two shows in Hellas, and the addition of a third date is something that is not impossible...

By the end of 2012, William J Tsamis’ “Sea of Tranquility” will be officially released, in a special remastered CD edition from No Remorse Records, including the heart and musical creativity of William J Tsamis through songs written and recorded during 1993-94.
