LadyValerie,

This album will be porn.

Better than Cold Lake anyhow.

Anyone listened to Apollyon Sun?

 

[sknight]

Yeah, I liked AS. THe guy all the way on the left is Erol Unala from AS. He added some electronics and a second guitar to the mix.

AS is still around, although dormant and Tom has material for a solo album to be recorded in the future.

 

[Powers]

He's had solo material ready for years hasn't he? Just hasn't gotten round to recording it.

 

[sknight]

Yah, but Tom continues to write. IN the case of CF, the early material recorded for the album was scrapped and in a different style from what is being printed right now.

I wouldn't be surprised if the solo stuff is darker and even more personal now.

 

[Powers]

I'd heard something like that. That's why it's been so long in production yes? Because he had most of it written and then just scrapped it.

 

[sknight]

Yes, as well as working out a recording deal. In the end, the band self-financed the project to make sure they were given FULL creative control of the project. Then it had to be taken to a distribution partner, which became Century Media.

Basically, everything had to be made right and opposite to what their 80's experience was that forced them to walk away from music.

 

[Powers]

So in theory this should be their best album so far?

 

[sknight]

I don't know.

There have been several fans that have heard the new album in a live rehearsal at the CF bunker. It is said to be very raw, heavy, and even brutal.

We will have to see.

"Tryptich" is a term that refers to the art style of three panels, with a larger center one and two outer panels, each half the width of the center to allow them to fold onto it. Bosch's Ye Garden of Delights was like this, as much catholic art was at one point. Frost used the Hell panel for Into the Pandemonium. There is speculation about what "Tryptich" is referring to for the album's closing trilogy. "Synagoga Satanae" is some 14 minutes long.

 

[Powers]

Would it not mean that Totengott and Winter would each be half the length of Synagoga Satanae?

*puzzled*

 

[sknight]

Only speculation. We don't know.

It seems some curiosity has been perked.

 

[Powers]

It's the only answer that makes sense.

 

[colin007]

wow, that band pic is GHEY!!! they should be in that list of worst metal pics...

 

[Powers]

Decibel Magazine Editor and Cheif Albert Mudrain has listed this album in his top 50 most anticipated albums of 2006. It turns out it will be called Dark Matter Manifest and the Peter Tägtgren (Hypocrisy/Pain) has been co-producing it with Celtic Frost. I don't massivley rate Tägtgren's work with Hypocrisy but i think that his work with Pain and the records he's produced have been very good. The significance of the "Triptych" sub heading remains to be seen.

 

[sknight]

Thanks for the link. Might be a bit old, since the title was revealed to be Monotheist fairly recently.

 

[Powers]

Definetly Monotheist?

 

[sknight]

Check out the link in my signature and see for yourself. It's been titled for a couple months now.
