All the members are more or less involved in other musical activities, which is the main reason why studio releases and live performances of the band have been occasional. However, after the 2006 debut release, power metal driven “Over the Drowning Water” Castaway launched their second effort “Choices & Patterns” in October 2013. The new album shows the gradual approaching of the band towards the classical prog rock roots and is also influenced by the presence of various guests and non traditional instruments on the record. Musical inspirations are very wide but the long distance aim of the band is to make a special blend and create a unique sound that couldn’t be easily compared to other, bigger names. Nowadays Castaway are focusing on live performances of the new album on all accessible stages.
