On 3rd September 2011 the second E-tropolis Festival will take place at the Columbia compound in Berlin. Few days before the festival, we are sorry to inform you about a recent change in the line-up. Due to health issues, Rotersand had to step back from the festival line-up. Though the band would have loved to play the festival, they are very sad not being able to perform. Please read their following statement:

"We are sorry to announce that we needed to cancel our show at the E-tropolis-Festival in Berlin on Sep 3rd 2011. Rasc's recovery process is going well, but playing a show would be too early for him. A big 'thank you' to everyone, who left 'get well soon'-wishes in our guestbook / facebook-page...."

"So Far Away" - This would be part one of three instrumental tracks for the album. Short and to the point. Reminds me of a triumphant funeral dirge. Marios' trademark guitar melodies are all over the place on this one.
