    All CDs are shipped by two handsome and well dressed band members. There’s no warehouse or company to handle it for us.

    That means we can’t promise a specific shipping time; we’ll do our best to send off a set of orders each week, but if we’re not around you might be waiting a bit longer. Feel free to contact us through bandcamp if it’s been a few weeks, though, and we’ll be happy to help.

    Additionally, we can’t support orders of more than 4 CDs for shipping reasons. If you make an order for more, we will be in touch to refund & cancel your order.

    If you do want to make an order for additional CDs, please go through the checkout for the first set, and then start a new order.

lyrics

“After three days without food, water or rest, Snow and the seven survivors reached Dacia. There, assuming the identity of General White, she began to build a partisan resistance.
There was, of course, another survivor of Rose’ wedding: the bride. The young lady Rose was to marry had been born a princess, though her father’s death had allowed her stepmother and sisters to surrender their beleaguered planet of Ostrogoth to Cole long ago. Named for the ashes of her world, she was known only as Cinders. Yet it was she Rose loved, and she that would have wed, if not for the king’s ambition. Cinders fled, taking to the stars to search for her betrothed. Decades passed as she longed for the day the jewel on her wedding band would turn from white to red, showing her love was near. And as she searched, she sang.”
