More European dates

Aug.12, 2010

We are very excited to be playing these dates in Germany, Portugal and England. It’s been a long time coming, and after some recent setbacks with the cancellation of dates, we have relied on our fans in Europe to help us in finding these shows. We owe a great gratitude to everyone who e-mailed us suggesting venues and contacts. Whilst we obviously couldn’t make it to every country in the short space of time that we have on this tour, we hope that some of the fans in other countries who have been waiting to see us will also be able to make it to one of these shows.

Russian distribution and a drum endorsement

Jan.28, 2010

Greetings again.

Two very exciting pieces of news for Be’lakor:

Firstly, we have signed a licensing deal with Russia’s SOYUZ MUSIC for Stone’s Reach. This deal secures physical distribution for the album throughout Russia and other territories such as the Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan. We have already heard from some fans in Russia who have picked up a copy of the album in Moscow, so cheers to the Russian fans, and to Soyuz for their support.
