Circle II Circle, die Band von Ex-Savatage-Sänger Zachary Stevens, hat auf ihrer offiziellen Website folgende Mitteilung veröffentlicht:
„Once again artistic genius Thomas Ewerhard has created a masterpiece with the new Circle II Circle cover art for ‚Burden of Truth‘. This is the third cover Mr. Ewerhard has created for the band and the most elaborate with a secret mystery locked within the cover concept and lyrical content that will awe the fans.“
„CIIC fans will have a chance to uncover the mystery and win a free Jackson guitar signed by the band, and other prizes such as backstage passes, T-shirts and posters.“
„The contest begins Black Friday October 13th, 2006 exactly 699 years to the day that Jaques de Molay, the last Grand Master of the order of the Knights Templar, had to travel to France to discuss with Pope Clement V about a crusade. On his way there he and his order members were arrested and interrogated by Phillip IV. The order was found guilty of blasphemy and sodomy. This was the end of the order of the Knights Templars, the Soldiers of Jesus…or was it?“
„Burden of Truth“ wurde in Florida (Tampa, USA) im Studio Morrisound Recording aufgenommen. Die Tour der Band ist für diesen Herbst angekündigt (Konzerte in Europa), und beim ProgPower Festival im September diesen Jahres werden Circle II Circle das einzige Konzert spielen, bei dem sie das komplette Album „Burden Of Truth“ live durchzocken.
