For Kroeger
Sadly Ampage lost one of it's co-founding members and longtime drummer Michael Kroeger to leukemia on January 31, 2016. Michael was in the studio with the band and had just finished his drum and backing vocal tracks for the newest album "Bridge Of Souls" when he was diagnosed with Leukemia. He died a few month later never hearing the finished album and what would be his last master piece. The band has dedicated this album to him.
