Take Me Home

(Digipak CD and digital download / 53:29 min / release date Sept. 8th 2017)

For All We Know is ( guitarist) Ruud Jolie's solo project. Six years ago For All We Know’s self titled debut was released. Afterwards the urge to write and release more of his own music was very strong, so Jolie started working on his second album Take Me Home.

For the music and lyrics of the album he collaborated with vocalist Wudstik. The band consists of the same main musicians that played on the first album; Léo Margarit (), Kristoffer Gildenlöw (ex Pain of Salvation), Marco Kuypers (ex Cloudmachine) and Thijs Schrijnemakers (Orgel Vreten). As guest vocalist on Take Me Home, the amazing is featured.

During the last five years this album was created both when Jolie was on the road with various bands (Within Temptation, , Maiden uniteD, etc.) and in his own studio in the . The 12 songs range from dark, atmospheric and dreamily acoustic to bright, heavy and pounding tracks and were produced by Jolie himself. In comparison to the first album, Take Me Home takes things more into the extremes; heavy songs are heavier and softer songs are softer; and everything in between of course.

In early summer 2017 the album was very successfully crowdfunded. On Indiegogo € 12.849,- was raised (143% of the campaign goal).

Reviews for the first album:

“For All We Know is a stunning album by a stunning group that I honest-to-god hope makes more before calling it quits. It'd be quite a shame to see such a fantastic project end after just one album. But even if that is the case, the band has graciously left us with one of the finest progressive metal albums ever created…” - Sea of Tranquility -

“A very convincing debut of the guitarist who with this album also proves to be a fine producer” - Aardschok Magazine -

“Ruud Jolie's For All We Know is a fine, and quite unexpected, work of creative from this talented musician (and company). Well recommended!” - DangerDog -

“With all its surprises and strong musical contribution For All We Know rises to be one of the most prominent album releases of the year.” - Imperiumi.net - Band line-up:
