Good for you Stormie! I am sure the release will be an excellent package as always.

 

I did enjoy the video too as at first the "3 piece" fooled me.

[stormspell]

I'm not familiar with that CD-R release, must be something Kimmo has done on his own.

In other news there is also a new MASQUERAGE coming out later this year. Described as "significantly heavier" compared to Backstabber.

Wow, I thought that would sound awful and... oh, yeah... so, it does. Awful stuff, not that I'd expect otherwise.

[stormspell]

Oh well... at least we didn't disappoint and lived up to your expectations

[Jacob M.]

I honestly don't know what to make of this. It vaguely reminds me of Queensryche mixed with something else I can't put my finger on. The vocals kind of have this Axl Rose thing going on in the background. Very strange stuff.

[stormspell]

Axl... hmm, interesting comparison. To me personally it is much more related to bands like Sonata Arctica, To/Die/For, Avantasia, with a touch of Savatage and even some Jon Bon Jovi (Blaze of Glory circa) thrown in for flavor.

It is very diverse album spanning from fast crunchy melodic power metal, through hard-rocking tunes, to an acoustic ballad.
