Dirk Thurisch to release solo album

[batmura]

Sounds great. I was just listening to AD yesterday and thought what a shame it was that this band is probably no more.

 

[Gaunerin]

yeah....but I was talking about live dates for Dirk's band Mercury Tide I'm afraid......

 

[Silkie]

the release date comes closer

 

[Squeak]

Yah for you people in EUROPE it does.... Grrrrrrrrr. Sniff Sniff.

The titletrack from Mercury Tide's debut "Why?" can be found here:

Cool link btw

 

[Squeak]

Thank you for the link!!!! Now, if only I could SAVE the mp3. Dammit.

:::waves at corny:::

 

[Magician]

There is no problem to save the file.
But the album will be released 25. august (in germany anyhow). :hotjump:

 

[Squeak]

Yes, there IS a problem for me to save it. I have AOL for Macintosh which does NOT allow me to save it. AND I don't live in Germany, I'm in the States.

*waves back to Squeak*

Well, if only I had enough money to buy the CD ...

Some of you may get pissed.. oh well, the review is online @ www.royalcarnage.com

Feel free to discuss here or in our forum. Hell, we even have a thread dedicated to reviews that you dispute.

Enjoy.

 

[Gaunerin]

well.....I don't think it's an overall impressive album either but I still believe it deserves a bit more than 2/10. But you don't seem to like Angel Dust or Dirk's vocals in general for that matter, so I guess the result would have been not much different if he had songs less dull as you call it.

First sentences :

Why? The title of this release and the question I pose to Century Media. Why? Why would the label spend money on this mundane release from the former vocalist of ANGEL DUST, a mediocre German metal band that was highly overrated? They can't possibly see a huge return on this...

:Smug:

 

[Vertigo]

That guys a fucking retard. I didnt even know until 5 mins ago that Dirk had a solo CD and I read this review. Thankfully they had sound clips, so I heard everything and the songs sound bad ass! Im ordering this CD!

Ok I've read your review Cora, as I prefer to know the opinion of an Angel Dust fan.
The title track sounded very good but if you say that the rest is very different I'm not sure to get it soon...
And I love Dirk's voice but I can't stand modern vocal effects

That shouldn't bother you too much. There's only this single song where it is used.

Still, ppl hoping to get something to "replace" Angel Dust will be disappointed. But it's their own fault if they do when you keep in mind what Dirk said about the music himself. I advise to give the album a listen and decide for yourself if it is to your liking.

Interview coming soon btw

 

[Silkie]

Yup, unfortunately I became sick over the weekend and still need a day to get better... but hopefully very soon you get to read the interview. We had fun doing it and taking pics *lol*

 

[Gaunerin]

ok....it was not soon but the interview is finally up (I'm not telling why it took a little longer )
