This is a worthwhile listen. It feels fresh and modern. It incorporates several styles (or aesthetics) of music seamlessly. I'm not blown away by the vocals, but it works for this music. The writing is the strength for me.
 
Yep...I have had their (self-released?) debut for almost a year, I think. It's damn good...the future looks bright for Clandestine!
 
The band released it on their own and sold 200 copies, hardly a release, more of a test market.

Claus and I saw the potential of the band, and we decided that it needed to be exposed and directed at more than just the underground, this band has a crossover potential to do a lot more than just sit in the prog metal market while certainly satisfying my love of progmetal this has a lot more in it, in fact HOT TOPIC picked it up nationwide because they believe in it...
and several other interestingly diverse websites have as you can see
with Bloodydisgusting, metalinjections, AOL music... The band has the it factor AND they not only can write a song, but their AMAZING musicians and relevant to the younger audience. It's just the crossover band I've been looking for in order to hopefully get some more kids paying attention to the progressive metal scene.

I like this quote, says a lot :

"I hear hundreds of bands each month; none like Clandestine. With a progressive sound that simply cannot be defined by comparisons, in
conjunction with inquisitive aesthetics portrayed through profound
lyricism & unmatched visual imagery; finally there is a band that offers
the music world something new. Clandestine is a breath of fresh air in an
otherwise stagnant & suffocating industry."

Good catch Claus but isn't this something of a reissue?

Thanks. I love this band. So much potential in them.

As for your question; considering that the album was only out for sale through the band's homepage and a few select places, and that they only sold 125 copies before hooking up with us (at which point they ceased to sell it), AND that the version we're selling now has updated artwork including lyrics etc, I think it's safe to say that this is officially a new release. If the 125 people who bought it originally feel they are getting ripped off by buying it twice - well, THEN DON'T BUY IT! haha :)
