New Logo for a New Story: The Rebranding

Troublemakers,

Today marks an important day for us. After more than a decade since we first began in the streets of New York City, our band has evolved. Our raw energy has been refined over the years. Stories and Experiences have shaped us into who we are today. We look back to our times in the streets and endlessly traveling with fondness. A community of Troublemakers built. Cultures shared and spirits uplifted. And yet, there were times we felt lost in a storm, sinking into a darkness. But like the first light after winter's darkness, a path revealed itself to us and our family, friends and fans have put the winds once again at our backs.

„There is no Greater warmth than first light after winter‘s darkness. For only in the Cold do we find what still burns within. Human lives are not defined by our triumphs or defeats. The true hero is remembered for how they stood in the darkest of times.“

We felt that this progression meant that it was time for an update to our logo. One that pays homage to our past but better articulates who we are now. Much like our music, there is a fusion of style. We were trained with classical precision, shaped by Rock influences, and inspired by the authenticity of Folk Music. We see ourselves as "Modern Bard's" traveling to tell tales and inspire others at a time when many feel lost. Our story, our sound, and our mission is to remind humans that even as our technology advances exponentially, it is our common humanity and culture that drives us.

This week we will have much more news and more stories to share with you. The team finally meets together again in Dresden after a month of "home office" following our recording session with Christoph Beyerlein. We have poured a lot of work in the new songs. It's unlike anything we've ever made before and undoubtedly the direction we will move in the future. 7-Tracks that narrate the short-story prologue to begin a multi-album epic journey to the island of Mnemorith. While making the project we found many things about ourselves! Decades of experiences culminating into this record. Wonderful guests joining us on some of the tracks from Folk and Rock bands in our scene. Immersive narrations that we had so much fun making. And.. a handful of Vocal driven tracks.

We enjoyed ourselves so much working on this project and pushed ourselves creatively. Plus in Christoph, we found a missing member of our team: The Producer. He deserves a post of his own though, so that's for another day, but all we can say is that without him, this whole transformation wouldn't have happened like it did. Finding our "sound" while also being true to what got us here was a tall order, and he was a most important guide [he's our Virgil].

A great adventure lies before us. There will be great times of joy and happiness. Triumphs and celebrations. There will also be grave trials. Failures. Darkness. But Through this gauntlet of that we call "life" we will rise and find our way. Thank you for your guidance through these years Troublemakers. Thanks for your support and most importantly for your spirit. May the wind remain at our back as we set sail, Troublemakers!

Love,

TTN
