Apostitutes!
Wow! I think this is great. Anyone who has seen the Candlemass dvd and watched the part where SA covers Well of Souls knows that he's up to the task.

Well, yeah it will certainly be different without Messiah, but he's gone anyway, and I think they chose a terrific replacement. Robert Lowe was always my favorite part of SA.

I just got this in my e-mail through the SA newsletter:
Heavy hails to all!!
A full version newsletter to everyone is in order at this time.
First, we would like to thank everyone thus far that has sent such
kind words of enthusiasm on our webpage and myspace concerning our
new album "Alone". The response has been nothing short of
overwhelming and we thank each of you for the good feelings we have
felt from your words and support! Massacre has informed us that this
album has received the highest press marks in the history of the
label! Unbelievable! Album of the month in most of the European
magazines including Rock Hard, Metal Hammer (both Germany and
Greece), Heavy and others! We knew we had a great album to deliver
but when it is received with such enthusiasm it warms our black
hearts to no end. "Alone" will finally be released in North America
on April 3rd. And for you vinyl maniacs, Eat Metal Records is
planning a release on wax very soon! This will include the digipack
only song "Embrace" as well.
With regards to the erroneous track listing on the album, what can we
say? There was some confusion somewhere in the chain with Massacre
and because we were running behind schedule on the release, the band
themselves were not able to proofread the final art. Whatever, it's
not that big of a deal and will be fixed on the next pressing. In
case you're wondering the correct track listing in the order the band
wanted it was #2 Waiting for the Light, #4 Sightless. With regards
to the bonus track "Embrace", at the last minute Robert changed the
title to "Lucid Destitution" and I thought the changes were made to
the final draft that was sent to Massacre. But alas, somehow I
screwed it up as I checked and sure enough, the title was not changed
in the track listing (although I did change it elsewhere in the
credits thereby creating the confusion). So the song will now
forever remain "Embrace" as the digipack is now sold out. Maybe
we'll correct it for the vinyl version (lookout insane collectors!)?
We'll see.
Live shows! Poland on the 9th in Krakow and on the 12th in Warsaw to
be filmed for a DVD release! Also playing the Real Steel fest in
Mexico City on March 3rd and the Chicago Power Fest on April 20th. A
local date in the DFW area is also planned for early April.
The long awaited Concept of God CD will finally see the light of day
this coming spring on Massacre Records! Recorded in 2001, the album
is sure to please all Solitude Aeturnus fans! The band was a short
lived project started by Steve Moseley and Robert Lowe during some
down time after the release of Adagio. Also features John "Wolf"
Covington and current Solitude bassist James Martin. Sound clips and
more info coming soon on the release date!
And now onto the jaw dropping news. Robert is joining Candlemass as
their new lead singer. We're not joking. We're also letting
everyone know that nothing has changed in Solitude Aeturnus and
Robert will continue on with Solitude Aeturnus as well. Our live
touring schedule is very minimal and we in the band see no conflict
whatsoever with this situation. I personally support the decision
100%. It's all about the music to all of us and this is a chance for
Robert to be involved in making some more great music outside of
Solitude Aeturnus. Why not, right? Leif Edling has been a friend of
mine for many years and the decision has been made between both bands
with utmost respect from the Candlemass camp. Robert is still 100%
committed to continuing on with SA as we would normally have
continued onward. He can't escape it just like myself as it's in is
brain and blood. I know that the next Candlemass album will sound
unbelievable to my ears as I'm both a fan of the band and Roberts
vocals so speaking for myself, I'll win out by getting free copy of
the new album (on vinyl and cd please)! Ha! Seriously, this will be
a great opportunity for Robert and we all wish him and Candlemass
great success together. Don't worry, Solitude Aeturnus will do
another record and continue to play live as much as our personal
schedules will allow. Look for more new on the Candlemass webpage
with regard to their new album and live schedule for this year!
Thanks and praise again to all of you that have posted on our web and
myspace! I am personally touched by each of your comments and look
forward to creating more heavy sounds for the ears!
