Yeah, we're the final remnants of a dying city. The band wanted to get rid of the forum all together a couple years back and I think making it "unofficial" was the way of saying, "Meh, you can keep using it, but we won't acknowledge it." But mostly, Facebook comments, Twitter, and reddit have...

Well, here's the thing: the band has seen more success since they've simplified their sound and focused on writing material that is powerful in a live setting. They are excited to be putting out new music that is well received and so of course they want to play it live - it was written to be...

FINALLY! Signs of life! Multi-album deal! Can't wait to hear the new stuff!

Awesome, thanks for that!

Can't wait for a weekend of Maiden Madness! I'd like to kindly request some songs :D... - Ghost of the Navigator - Deja-Vu - Sea of Madness - Flight of Icarus

Thanks for those! The crowd really seemed to love hearing Out of the Ashes. I hope they bring this one out more often!

Thanks for posting! But boy, Russell is struggling on those highs in Swan Song...

These boards go mostly unmoderated, except in extreme cases. I'm not sure if the fan club still exists. Seems like the best way to contact anyone close to the band is through Facebook.

Vocals - Russell Allen Guitar/Backing Vocals - Adrian Smith Guitar/Backing Vocals - Mikael Akerfeldt Bass - Joey Vera Drums - Marco Minnemann I actually think this would make one hell of any interesting band. All guys with incredible abilities who all occasionally like to lean back into a...

Gear Gods posted two videos about the band's live setup: Band: Front of house:

Wow, those are amazing! Word to the wise: start shooting your concert videos in 60 FPS.

Here's the thing: Russell still sounds incredible live. He's amazing. So, do I honestly care if he's cutting a couple high notes short by one second? Not at all. I'd rather he preserve that voice for shows 10, 15, 20 years down the line.
