These guys are still together? I've got their album from maybe 2000 - Grace? It had the song Warmachine and their cover of Touch of Evil.

Nils Patrik Johansson is again the vocalist?

"Fall From Grace", it's the third and final album with the original vocalist Andy Engberg. All three are quite strong stuff in the vein of Tad Morose, Morgana Lefay and Chapter VI by Candlemass. Engberg was an excellent vocalist, he's the bald guy in the backing choir on the Evergrey DVD by the way.
After that they did one album with another vocalist which was rather mediocre and Emotional Coma wasn't really a step up at least in my opinion. Very dull. So I'm not really looking forward to this new one but I'll give it a fair shot.

Yes he is.

Here we disagree big time. I found "Emotional Coma" extremely good and refreshing, even better than the Astral Doors album that came out the same year. Also I found the side project of Lars and Sampo, Road To Ruin quite interesting.

You're talking about 2 different albums. The Touch Of Evil cover was on Fall From Grace (1999), the last one with the great original singer Andy Engberg.

The song War Machine is from the 2001 album Entrance, the only one they did with the not-bad-but-too-higher-pitched singer Tony Niva. The album itself was very good IMO, more straight-forward hard rock/metal compared to the more progressive-metal style of Fall From Grace and Two (1997).

I really enjoyed Emotional Coma with Nils Patrick Johansson on vox and I'm looking forward to the new disc. That being said, as much as I enjoy Johannson's vocals, as I can already hear him in Astral Doors, I'd rather get Engberg back in Lions Share...But it wonKt happen as it seems...

I like all Lions Share discs, but here is my order of preference:

Two
Fall From Grace
Emotional Coma
Entrance
Lions Share

I liked that ROAD TO RUIN disc quite a bit too. Cool 70s metal style.

I believe War Machine was an added bonus track. I know both songs were on the album, so it might be the other way around with Touch of Evil as the bonus track.

I'm getting a copy of this from Blistering Records when it becomes available. I was pleasantly suprised by their last album. Looking forwrad to hearing this one.
