The Kickstarter campaign for our 10th anniversary orchestral album PARALLEL ETERNITY came to a successful conclusion on November 25th!  The campaign ultimately exceeded the $40,000 fundraising goal, finishing with a whopping $55,656 raised by exactly 666 backers! 

All campaign stretch goals were unlocked, which allows us to add several additional songs to the album, give Kickstarter backers an exclusive free bonus EP and flexi vinyl record, and return to Catalonia for a tour in 2020!

Thank you to everyone who backed the campaign. If you missed out and simply can't live without the exclusive Kickstarter goodies that you missed, contact us directly and we'll arrange direct payment for you via Paypal. Otherwise, stay tuned for regular pre-orders to become available in early 2020! 

The Kickstarter campaign to fund our new album PARALLEL ETERNITY continues! We hit our first goal of $40k so the album will definitely be completed. Now we begin chipping away at our stretch goals in hopes of adding more songs to the album! We took a moment to ask members of the Legion about which stretch goals they would like us to prioritize. Based on your answers, we have updated our stretch goals. We hope we can make them all, and if we do, we'll add the things we subtracted (such as Kurenai) back into the mix. Now let's get these stretch goals met! Click here to pledge!

Legion of Thunder, we're getting so close to our first goal! Around 85% to be exact! We're hoping to make our first goal of $40k by Halloween, so spread the word and tell the masses! Click here to visit the campaign!

We're so close to our Kickstarter goal! 85% funded with $6,180 to go! FAN POWER! 💪 Thank you to everyone who has pledged to support us! Kickstarter backers are 99% of what keeps the band alive and making new music!! We don't get a cent unless we hit the goal though! Can we get there this week?

No broken bones or near death experiences can keep us down. To that end we are proud to announce that we’re opening for the mighty Arkona on September 1st at the Baltimore Soundstage! This will be our first performance since Nina sustained serious injuries in a car accident.

Get your tickets direct from us here: ARKONA + ASOT TICKETS 

For those who haven’t heard, Nina’s car was hit by a bus on July 4th. Her car rolled over and Nina’s pelvis was broken in three places. After four days in the hospital Nina was sent home to begin recovering. As you can see from the image of her car post-accident below, we're lucky she's still with us at all!

As of this writing Nina is still using a wheelchair most of the time, using a walker to move short distances, and is able to move from one position to another using a cane. Nina pushed to schedule this performance on September 1. Having a gig on the books will give her extra motivation to keep up with her physical therapy and get back to her old Queen of Hell self! 

Nothing lasts forever. We’re lucky to still be here now, and we can’t promise we’ll still be here next year. That’s always been true, but getting hit by a bus really drives the point home. We hope you’ll join us on September 1st to see the Queen of Hell get back on stage, and to celebrate life and metal!
