Ha, I thought it was odd that Stefan missed it. Guess the fool was I.

 

:lol:

 

 

Geoff, you're doubting me? I'm hurt... :(

 

 

:aw:

I read over at Melodic Rock that the new Wigelius is scheduled for release in Summer 2015.

 

I've been patient, but RELEASE THIS DAMN CD!!! The 'Please, Please, Please' single came out last Spring. That'll be over a year from releasing the first single to actually releasing the whole cd.

With 3 great songs so far the Wigelius album look set to be a highlight release in 2015 even if the rest of the songs are nowhere quite as good :)

 

odd comment

 

 

whats odd about it :) those 3 songs are nothing short of stunning and honestly if i am betting man, I'd bet the band would come out with more amazing tunes that makes up to be an incredible album :)

just you saying that if the other 7 are 'nowhere quite as good' it would still be a highlight of 2015.

 

that's all.

It says this on their Facebook page:

 

The album will be released in spring 2015!

 

Also, someone asked in Swedish about a release date for the new album and Wigelius responded on 2/13: We are working on it!

Maybe I'm missing something but I do not see what all the excitement is about....it's okay but nothing fantastic...

Well the 3 songs so far are all bloody good imo. Obviously the rest has to stack up.

I'm sort of the same. I can't say they are any better than most of the bands in the genre (and quite a few have released better debut albums too tbh) and I don't really get all the extra fuss. They are a good band and the debut album was solid, without being spectacular and the new songs so far have been good as well. Until the album drops, i'll reserve judgement, as I would with anything else.

It all comes down to personal taste I guess. Some like their melodic rock/AOR to be syrupy, poppish, youthful, modern-sounding, not too mature but full of catchy hooks like Wigelius maybe, some don't and prefer the classic early 80s side of AOR like Journey or Foreigner.

It is an odd one because once a band releases a track from an upcoming album (let alone 3 of them!!!) you can safely assume the album is in the can and just going through the final stages before it hits the shelves. Strange one...

I think it will be good - I don't doubt it, in fact... but I'll believe it's release when I see the actual thing.

From FB:

 

Where is the album??
We know a lot of you are wondering, and rightfully so. We don’t want to make lame excuses, but we feel that we owe you an explanation.

We are very sorry for the delay, and we do understand your frustration. We urge you to consider though, that we work full time as songwriters and musicians. WIGELIUS is our love child, in both senses of the word. It’s something we keep on the side, but really pour our love into. We put our heart and soul into this project and want it to be perfect. At the same time, we have bills to pay and cats to feed.

Recently we have gotten ALLOOOOT of questions and even some angry letters, asking about the release. On the upside, it’s very nice to realise that a lot of you are looking forward to this album a great deal!
Right now, we’re at the very end of production. The songs are recorded and they sound great! There are still a few things to be done and we do not yet have a release date. We will keep you updated, and let you know the date as soon as we get one.
So, if you just chill for a while, you will soon be listening to the new album. Promise!
We are not Guns N’ Roses…

Goosefraba everybody

    • Another Robert Mason post, but this time I really do feel a connection with it. I'm sure I've mentioned it before, but my name is Dustin.  Everybody calls me Dusty, so when I saw the new Warrant album (Rockaholic) featured not only one of my favourite vocalists, but also included a track called Dusty's Revenge, I couldn't believe it. I then find out that it's a concept album about a "Rockaholic" called Dusty. For obvious reasons, I love this album. Here's a couple of tracks.      
    • Harpsichord.    I thought of it and it was random, so there you go.
    • From their FB page: Alcatrazz wish to make the following announcement: Back in late 2020 the brilliant Doogie White came in to help us out with our then already booked live dates after the departure of the previous vocalist (those dates were ultimately postponed to late 2021 due to the Covid lockdowns). We all had a GREAT time...and thus, one thing led to another and before we knew it we had made two fantastic albums and toured considerably in a nearly 4 year period. Now our schedule is getting busier and busier, as is Doogie's with his very fine solo work... and with that, the inevitable clashing of dates in our respective diaries, and needless to say, the impossibility of him being able to be in two places at one time. We remain on very very good terms with Doogie and cannot thank him enough for his contributions to the band, he is very welcome on our stage anytime, as are all past Alcatrazz alumni. Current Warlord vocalist and someone already known to many Alcatrazz fans (as co-producer and also contributing songwriter for Alcatrazz's past 3 albums) Giles Lavery will be stepping up for the 2024 live dates - and with that we will be reintroducing many songs from the Alcatrazz past, including some not played in many years. Giles's first show is 22nd of March in New Orleans, lets all make him feel welcome and please lets also give a massive thank you to our dear friend Doogie White for everything he gave to this band since 2020, he is a true pro and a great person! Doogie has a video message to the fans that we will share later today as well. Jimmy, Gary, Joe, Larry.
    • Maybe it's because I've heard GnR a couple thousand times by now, but I much prefer "Fall to Pieces" by Velvet Revolver over "Sweet Child o Mine" at this point in my life.   
    • I'll have to investigate that Durbin. I'd count Striker and Mick Mars among the best metal releases as well now that I think about it. 
    • Haven't picked up Saxon yet, but as far as metal goes, I love the new Durbin album as well.
    • I wasn’t thrilled with the singles as they came out, other than “The Serpent and the King”, but I’ll be damned if they haven’t grown on me while listening to them as part of the cohesive package that is “Invincible Shield”. I broke down and picked up the Target exclusive to get the three bonus tracks, and I enjoy them too. Overall, a damn fine addition to the JP discography. Is it better than “Firepower“? I’m not there yet, but time will tell. 🤔 This one and Saxon have set the bar pretty high for metal this year. 👍
    • Agree with this. Though I think you should check out Firepower. You can get it real cheap new everywhere. It is molten. I'm also enjoying Invincible very much and 2024 new music as a whole.
    • I remember my early days on the internet joining a group on Yahoo (yeah thats how long ago it was) and the woman who created the group was trying to persaude me how great Creed was, so much so that she sent me the first two albums on CD. I had no idea what they sounded like. When I played them all I could think is that they sounded like Pearl Jam, and I fucking hate Pearl Jam. I ended up trading them for something better. I can't remember the ins and outs of it, but I somehow shared my CD collection online and she noticed straight away that the Creed CDs were not listed. She asked me why and I said I sold them as really did not like them, and got something I did like. She never spoke to me again after that
