new album question

[your head on a pike]

it may be too early to ask, but does anyone in the band know how much (if any) keyboards will be on the new album?

i liked the few parts that oyvind did a lot, especially at the end of cloud constructor (for the longest time i thought that synth sequence was distorted guitars, until lars posted the anatomy of each song).

i'm not going away that easy.

There will be keyboards on it. No clue how much... I mean, we're probably looking at a release a couple of years down the road so it's impossible to know.

A couple of years!? Dammit, I really thought the new album was coming soon (like this year....) I can't think of a band that has taken longer to release an album following a prior one! I thought Arcturus took long between La Masquerade Infernale (1997) and The Sham Mirrors (2002), but you've beaten them!

 

[Asgeir Mickelson]

I only said we would start making a new album this year. We're not in a hurry (as if that's news for you...).

Quality takes a while...plus, the best things come to those who wait..I'd given up all hope of it happening, so I'm just happy to know it will

well, if it's going to take that long, then the finished product better be so good that it gives me multiple, simultaneous orgasms.

and i'm sure it will.

Can't wait. I love listening to your music when I'm writing code. It gets me into that "technical" mindset!

I suppose real life gets in the way sometimes. Try getting ANYTHING done after having kids! lol

 

[NK]

Can't wait to hear the new stuff. As long as they keep making records, I for one don't care how long there is between releases.

Take your time Asgeir!

I look forward to the new album... some time in 2009 or something.

But you should get Neil Kernon to mix it at least.

Sadus - Elements of Anger 1997

Good things come to those who wait. New Spiral Architect will kick ass. Patience young padawan.

Are you enjoying your ride on the metal bandwagon? j/k

Maybe you should just release it on the 10th anniversary of your debut, sounds like that's about when it will be finished, then you could do another one for the 20th anniversary. I think that would make SA the only band to have such a release schedule.

 

[Occam's Razor]

Do it like Sacred Blade from Canada...the sophomore is still waiting for about 20 years, and meanwhile, that guy issues remasters and re-recorded versions of the debut...makes sense!
