Fábio says that he will make a difference during the band's composition process and that the next studio album will bring new features. "I believe that the band's sound will change a little bit with my participation on the writting process", declares the drummer. "My musical background is more oriented to fusion and instrumental music. The guys in the band also want to give it a change and search for new musical horizons, and this will be noticed in our new album. However, all these changes will not affect the band's musical roots and we will not leave the band's own style behind. I hope people like it."
