Kirsi-Maarit Salonen commented to fanclub: The meaning of the cover is much more described by Trond than me, I nearly made the cover by his instructions. The speeding of the car on such cliffs and danger around it symbolizes the passion they have as a group, and how they trust the car they are driving and never look back. This is the way I remember him telling me, but I can be bit off too, as the cover was created in 2007. Have no idea what the polar bears were about though, haha!

Trond Nicolaisen explained the meaning: The car in the picture... it's "The White Lightning" - my old car! It broke down sometimes in 2007. We got really sad, so we wrote a song about it, he-he! "White Lightning" was the first song that we ever recorded with our project. You can pretty much say that "W.L." brought Tomorrow's Outlook to life.

While riding my old car through the norwegian mountains, often under terrible weather conditions, we sometimes faced strange and dangerous situations. The demon creature on the cover, the cliff etc.. they all symbolize the dangers. I'm not exactly sure why we added the polar bears, but I think it was because we wanted something typical norwegian in there. Kirsi, a talented artist from Finland, she then drew the bears, he-he..

"34613", which was the reg. plate on "The White Lightning" - is the title of our debut! It's also the title for one of our instrumental tracks on the album. If you read the reg. plate in "leet" language (which is a nerd-language primarily used on the internet), "34613" stands for "Eagle". The "leet" language originated in the eighties, and it's an alternative alphabet for the English language. "Leet" uses various combinations of ASCII characters to replace the latinate letters: 3=E, 4=A, 6=G, 1=L, 3=E --- 3-4-6-1-3 --- E-A-G-L-E.

Trond Nicolaisen commented about the track sung by Kiske: it's not a heavy track, but there are some rocking parts with high vocals. Two different versions of this song will appear on the band's debut 34613. The original is featuring the huge talent of Mike Gorham.. while the 'Kiske-version' will be added as a bonus track.

Trond Nicolaisen last update: Our debut, "34613", it's coming together SLOWLY, BUT SURELY! These days we are working on the FINAL two songs for the album. They are "March Of The Demons" plus a new track with no title yet! Mike Gorham will be laying down the vox for this new untitled track BTW. He's also on "Doubt" and "The Ethereal Dream". We are also fixing up some parts before the mastering. Yeah, for instance, we had to re-do the acoustics on 'White Lightning'. There was too much noise on the original recording.. so we decided to clean that up! Sounds much better now! Well, we just uploaded the new mix of WL with the redo's.

Michael Kiske: 'The Ethereal Dream' was a very nice and fresh tune. Since I am in a real band now (UNISONIC), I won't be doing many projects like this anymore in the future, but there has always been very good stuff among it, and that's one of the better ones.

Trond Nicolaisen commented about the sample with Kiske vocals: It's only a test mix. It's gonna sound huge once we are done with the mix. Michael did a great job on this track!

Trond Nicolaisen last update: Our debut, 34613, it's finally starting to take shape. These days we are working on the last two songs for the album. One of the songs will be featuring the legendary hard rock vocalist Graham Bonnet (RAINBOW, MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP, ALCATRAZZ, IMPELLITTERI). We just posted a rough demo version of this track (a clip with no vocals) on our official MySpace page.
