At the beginning of the recording sessions of Chapter 4 the band broken up the recording deal with their record company SteelBorn records because they was absolutely not able to follow the band in their way... The closure of the contract foresees the transfer of the whole contract to another famous, important Italian label. With the new label we had lots of e-mail and phone calls to discuss the fact that never on earth they would have worked in a negligent way as the last label did. Their behaviour was worse than the previous one and they told us to find a new label... they never sent us a new contract, and when we had to pay the studios they disappeared. Obviously we found another company... Universal Metal Production... This new company gave to the band a support and of course the great possibility to share Kaledon's music in the United States of America! Probably other companies in the world will buy the licence of the record and of course you'll see Kaledon everywhere... Kaledon has signed also for a great european record company!
