''Without Shadows' has been deleted as a single, but IKON has decided to make a limited number of 50 copies available directly to fans. They will not be sold from any other outlet anywhere in the world. They are $AUD 20 plus postage. The tracklist is: 'Without Shadows', 'Burning Desire', 'Confused Dreams', 'Seconds', 'Love is Colder then Death' (acoustic), and 'The Garden of the Lost' (live). So check out our merchandise page quick smart.

After the great response to our download sampler, Boulevard of Broken Dream Vol. 1, IKON is pressing a limited-edition of 100 CD copies of the compilation. It is currently being designed and will be available for sale through the website soon.

And speaking of promises, IKON's second set of free downloads, which will feature a complete live concert, is due to be mastered tomorrow, and will be available for download in the next week.
