demo, which blew me totally away." Words Untold & Dreams Unlived (2005–2007) Although some labels were interested to work with the band, they decided to produce a self-financed full-length album which would increase the chances for a more valuable deal including touring activities. Words Untold & Dreams Unlived was a project that took place throughout Europe.
