Reversing time
Soon after Sojourn, Dreamtone started to look into other options about how to improve themselves. With luck, the band's friend from Metal Temple, Orpheus Spiliotopoulos mentioned them of his mother's wish to create a symphonic metal project, and things moved on from there. Eventually, the idea of having a few gigs turned into creating an album with a symphony orchestra and guests.
Even though Dreamtone had some level of underground presence, Reversing Time carried them to the major league, signing a record deal with one of the world's biggest independent metal labels, AFM Records, something seemed impossible for a Turkish band to achieve the time, together with Iris Mavraki.
Reversing Time (song) was also praised by the international press, shown as a part of must listen to 100 tracks for any progressive metal fan in various magazines and websites. It is, sadly, also the final official release of Mike Baker, who passed away shortly after.
The rights to release the album is owned by AFM Records GmbH. Hence, this album is not available through Bandcamp & CD Baby.
