Glen Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Hope they can re-capture the beauty of the debut.....has gone downhill if I'm honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zacharyamelie Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 I really enjoyed them all and were a highlight the year they were released. What worries me is the song writer... Timo Tolkien of Stratovarius, not convinced that that will work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Yeah think it will be more power than melody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KING Posted July 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Also are the covers getting too cheesy or is it me? looks like they are sticking to the same 2 robotic monsters theme to me. just a different color scheme. i just hope the songs kick ass.

phaffas Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Nothing wrong with the cover, same as the last 3. But unfortunately im not getting excited about this. Karlsson is the man on these releases. Ive been a big Tolkki fan in the past.... but his great stuff is few and far between. Happy to be proved wrong.

Dead Planet Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 I'm hoping this one is more like the 2nd release "The Revenge" as it is by far my favorite of the 3.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KING Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 The last one ( 3 ) The Showdown is my favorite of the 1st Three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Also are the covers getting too cheesy or is it me? Just you, mate. ;} And me. That cover is rubbish. I've liked all of the first 3 discs without really being able to remember which was which off the top of my head. I remember a few cool songs off the debut, but if memory serves correctly they've all been quite good. Could be interesting with a new writer. Most of Jorn's output these days is sadly pretty shit, so I hope this project doesn't follow this trend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KING Posted July 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 song samples here; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zacharyamelie Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 From the samples you can tell the songwriter is different, sounds like Stratovarius with better vocals. The songs sound thinner on the guitars and not as heavy on the instruments, making the vocals at the forefront. I'm sure I'll get it, unless the full samples really stink...it would be a shame since I have all the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaffas Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Fronteirs is getting a pounding about this on facebook.. alot of unhappy campers. Was there ever any reason why Karlsson wasnt doing this? Assuming too busy with Primal Fear? Or is it because PF is on another label?

Dead Planet Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 I don't mind the vocals but I do not like the vocals so much up in front on the mix.....may pass on this unless i see it cheap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
