The vision with this record is to show how heavy rock can continue to challenge and surprise in 2023. The Danish band's heavy and dynamic sound and lyrics has taken a turn in a more progressive and dark direction on this record. Although the foundations of the band's sound are clearly laid by the giants of the past, inspiration is drawn both across time and across genres. Precisely this opportunity to delve into the past several decades of music history and through this define their own sound has been an important part of the songwriting and recording process.The artwork was developed by Travis Smith (Opeth, Megadeth, Katatonia, Avenged Sevenfold), who helped Timechild reach the perfect visual representation of the record.The album is once again produced, mixed and mastered by Soren Andersen (Glenn Hughes, Phil Campbell, Jesper Binzer). With his vast experience within the genre, both as a producer and musician, Soren was a natural choice when the band's new visions had to be brought to life. The result is eight strong and unique tracks, which broadly show the band's dynamic range and artistic visions. Album Tracks 1. The Dying Tide Part I 2. The Dying Tide Part II 3. The Dying Tide Part III 4. Call of the Petrichor 5. Hands of Time 6. Buried in Autumn 7. The Sign 8. Only Our Shadows Remain

How composers draw their creative lives to a close continues to fascinate. Are their final works the culmination of all that has gone before or suggest what might have come next? Did illness enhance their profundity or diminish their powers? Can we listen to such pieces without thinking of them as some kind of message from beyond the grave? The music featured on this fascinating program from violinist Sophie Rosa and pianist Ian Buckle each suggest different answers to these questions and challenges some preconceptions. In their last years, Robert Schumann (1810-1856) and Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951) both continued to be inspired by musicians around them. Schumann in post-revolutionary Germany and Schoenberg in post-war America looked back to classical models, to reinvigorate, even lighten, their compositional approach. That sense of playing with history is also evident in the music of Ukrainian composer Valentyn Silvestrov (b. 1937), who has claimed InchI do not write new music. My music is a response to, and an echo of what already exists.Inch Album Tracks 1. Sonata No. 3 for violin and piano, WoO 2~I. Ziemlich langsam 5. Phantasy for violin and piano, Op. 47 7. 'Post scriptum' Sonata for violin and piano~I. Largo - Allegro
