Hello ya wankers! :grin:

Ok, first off I'll confess I miss ya all! Even though I haven't read nor written on this board for eons (read: months) it feels like it's been decades since my last "appearance" here.

Whatever be the case, here's my remedy to the situation. :)

Thales, a band of which most of you already know I'm the drummer/songwriter of, is still alive and kicking. We just finished writing the riffs for the "6th track" of our upcoming album, making it up to a total running time of about 50 minutes of (dark, progressive, energeticl) metal at six tracks. Naturally, there are acoustic/clean vocal passages with transitions to heavy and dark distortorted riffs, but you shouldn't expect "a copy of Opeth" because we're not copying/plagiarising/ripping off Opeth nor any other bands; we're merely making the music our hearts tells us to.

No we're not signed (yet).

We are unique.

We are gay.




(P.S. Oh by the way, those of you who downloaded the piano / keyboards infected track by me (Orchid): there's something more of the sorts coming up shortly. I've got the half of the track jotted down and it's very space-esque. I'm pretty sure you'll like it.

Stay tuned. I hope I will too. Hehehheh. :grin:
 
Ayup.

Even though our website's "news"-page isn't the most informative (cough... I'm responsible for that.. uhm, I apologize for the lack of most current information), we have, and have had, a full line-up for about three months. Mechanically, recording an album would be possible right now, but we want to wait for a few months before singing any recording contracts; just to be sure of things and to guarantee the best quality for our (supposed) fans.
We are not quite ready yet. Are there any fans, anyways? =) Hehehe.

I guess I'm not an oldie on this board,
but I am really looking forward to this
next track, and just wanted you all
to know! Hehe.... >:o)
 
Welcome back, I would just like to say I have quite enjoyed what you have offered up so far, especially "Solace", so keep it coming and good luck.
 
Well, sounds like gay to me.

Even if there aren't hordes of fans, between Jo and myself we make enough (online?) noise to convince people that there are.

But I'm pretty sure most of this forum is behind you guys... that' a few hundred dedicated fans right there!

Any working ideas for a title for the first Thales volume? Oh, and you can update the news with the upcoming design update, right?
 
well, I didn't know you 'back in the day', but I went to your site and listened to the songs in the discography section and I like it. It's brilliant. I'm telling you, you'd better get big enough for me to find your albums;)
