• Firestream Music Vault to return on Jabuary 16, 2012 (as announced by XNilo Records): The wait is over, January 16, 2012 the Music Vault returns to the public! Please remember, there's still a lot of work to be done. Tons of album/artist-pictures will need added again and some of the missing data will also need updated. Nevertheless, the site is functional and still rich with contentm naking it a great resource that can be used while work is being done. Therefore, we do not want to keep the site from the public any longer because we feel that they have waited long enough for its return.

On our behalf and on behalf of all those who wanted the return of the vault, we cannot thank you the original Vault creator (aka Solid) enough for his help and hard work! Now, it's time for the team of Vault Managers to roll up our sleeves and bring the Vault the rest of the way home. Official: www.firestreamvault.com.
