[Burbots]

And a awesome cover song!!! Cant wait for that!

 

[krofius]

Haha I can't help but laugh at the 2nd song title..One of Fail. It sounds so sarcastic
Still, I'm really looking forward to the album and I hope we can hear atleast one song before the end of January!

3. Bullets Are Blind
4. Swampwar
9. Sacramentum

Any of these 3 titles would have been better than "12 Gauge". I'm just not a fan of that title.

That being said, who cares about titles? It's the music that counts, and I am sure it will deliver.

I completely agree. "Swampwar" would have been a great tile. Regardless, I'm sure this will be another excellent release.

Will this album be distributed in North America or will I have to order it from Europe?

swampwar would be an awesome title! but then again if the album theme is based around 12 gauge the song then it makes perfect sense to have it be that. but i think the return of the swamp series albums would be awesome

 

[cholo11]

Swampwar sounds damn brutal.

 

[enfanterrible]

[Kalmah338]

And to complement them, I found that the 12 Gauge artwork posted. I love it! It's appropriately epic.

[Kaltwassergrab]

What the hell?! Now that really is awesome! Definetly very different than the other covers. Now I'm getting even more impatient for the album!

 

[enfanterrible]

wow, wow, WOW
just superb !

can't wait to see what the new merch is gonna look like !

 

[A1a23]

Yeah I'm gonna have some trouble waiting for this release date. I recently heard the song "Bullets are Blind" and i must say, awesome track. Can't wait for the rest of the album.

 

[FearTheReaper]

Bullets are Blind is sick as fuck. It has a early Kalmah vibe to it, and it is epic as all hell. The verse riffing early in the song is spectacular. It sounds very Testament esque'. Which is great for them!

What truly shines throughtout the song is how seemless the melodic and thrashing sections blend into each other. Which is lead by some stellar keys laid by Marco.

The thrash aspect was really increased on For The Revolution, and 12 gauge might just be the refined product of this melody/thrash infusion. If this is an everpresent aspect of 12 Gauge, then i think we're in for one hell of an album.

That being said, does anyone have any information on preordering 12 Gauge?
