I just heard about the new album and the remasters, awesome news! I just wish it hadn't taken 15 years to do another album :tickled:

Damn good album, really surprised me. It harkens back to early Avantasia :kickass:

I really hope they do another album...Gather The Faithful was excellent! \m/

Hi, will you be stocking Lingua Mortis Orchestra feat. Rage? It's available in Europe via Nuclear Blast, but I don't see any US distribution yet. I'd love to get the digibook CD/DVD.

The new Thy Majestie is surprisingly good... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhAHAwdrF-Y

I knew this would be the right place to ask...thanks for the info :)

Has anyone heard any recent news regarding Cain's Offering? I loved their debut from 2009 (Gather The Faithful), but their forum here at UM seems dead, as is their MySpace, and no official site. It'd be a shame to see this band/supergroup go by the wayside...loads of talent.

The Bone Carver is born!!

I like that last riff...shredtastic!

Cool song, catchy as hell with some goof riffage, and the symphonic/choral layers are top-notch as usual, along with the overal production...sounds like a million bucks, and probably cost as much :goggly: I also love how Nightwish has offered instrumental versions for the last 2-3 albums...fun...

It's hard for me to pick a fave, I love all three. As far as differences, the last two albums have a considerably larger and richer symphonic presence...and the choral elements seem more prominent as well.

I'm really diggin this, can't wait for the new album, Under The Grey Banner. Man, it's been about 5 years since Astronomy, which I loved.

Then prepare to be shocked...I'm not feelin' this album at all, and that's the first IE album I can say that about. Stu's vox are OK, but the songwriting feels very bland :(

Nothing against Delain, but Epica falls right in my wheelhouse in terms of elements that I really enjoy...melodic, symphonic, choral, heavy, and vocal duality.

Haha, I agree...it has a sweet instrumental section, one of the best on the album. I'm having a blast with Iconoclast :)
