As part of their release, they held a private listening party for Act 1 and an album Q&A last Friday in Vienna, Austria. They spoke on the themes of Acts 1 & 2 – the immediacy of death and the grieving and coping process that ensues.

They released Mercury – Acts 1 & 2 on Friday, July 1, 2022. A trailer for the project was made available on their youtube page before the release.
