The Saga ‘saga’ continues in 2009 with the up-coming and highly anticipated release of their brand new album, ‘The Human Condition’ —the exciting first album with new frontman, Rob Moratti. The band is also currently gearing up to capture the attention of audiences across Canada and Europe during their Spring 2009 ‘Human Condition Tour.’
