New Pain of Salvation Studio album Release data and Cover

[Spruce Goose]

Coming out 09/27/04

I cannot wait. This is my most anticipated album of the year easily

 

[spawn]

That is one of the shittiest covers I have ever seen...

 

[Spruce Goose]

Its not great is it.

To tell you the truth, I'm not even sure if it is the cover. They have 5 albums with awesome cover art, so I dunno if this is the actual cover for the new album. Seems a bit 'whacked together in photoshop in 3 minutes' to me as well.

 

[spawn]

I hope so Nothing worse than a band who doesnt care about making cool cover art

 

[Spruce Goose]

This is the poster that was used to promote the one off concert that they performed of the new studio album a few months back. Thought they might use this as a base for the cover?

Anyway, 27th of September... Thats like a month and a half away I havnt been this excited since a month before Train of Thought.

I know Gildenlow won't let me down. He's a genius.

 

[spawn]

That cover needs more dragons. And a battlefield. A big one.

Have you heard Pagans Mind and Zero Hour Sprucey? Its exactly the kind of crap you and Wenda would LOVE I have albums by both bands and they are not bad, but its definitely something people who love prog would go apeshit over so you should look into both of them

 

[Wenda]

...I think we just got insulted, Sprucey

Thanks for the heads-up though, man. I knew this was coming, but I hadn't been following closely, so I didn't know how soon. I actually don't mind that cover; it's got minimalist style

 

[spawn]

I meant it in the nicest way possible dammit

 

[Spruce Goose]

Yeah, if that is the real cover, I am sure it would look cool in real life. I can't see how a band like POS who are pretty professional with their releases, would release something that looked like shit.


Just look at the cover of 12:5... That is stunning I think.

Havnt heard Pagans Mind or Zero Hour. Funnily enough, I dislike alot of Prog. I love Dream Theater, Pain of Salvation, Opeth etc, but alot of the really technical DT rip offs I am not too keen on. I have one shadow gallery album which is awesome, but I am not interested in buying their other stuff. Same thing with Symphony X. I got Twilight in Olympus years ago and didnt mind it, but never felt the need to get their others, although I have heard they are quite good.

 

[spawn]

Well every review I have seen of Pagans Mind has given them full marks, every single one. I dont understand it myself, but maybe you will, the albums called Celestial Entrance anyway if you want to look for it

 

[Goreripper]

I know it's kinda small, but you who have the album will know it. The boy in this photo looks a lot like me as a kid. I'd even suggest they stole one of my childhood photos for it, but I don't have a sister.

 

[Spruce Goose]

I think it is Daniels Nephew or something like that

 

[Goreripper]

I still think it's actually me. If I was at home, and could be stuffed, I'd put a pic of me when I was 4 up here as proof. But if not, and I can't, so you'll just have to take my word for it.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

"Pagan's Mind - Celestial Entrance" is pretty cool, they have a great sound. Well worth checking out for prog fans. As for Symphony X, I am not a real fan, but The Odyssey is a great album, I like it much more than any of their other stuff that I have heard.

 

[Goreripper]

The Odyssey is awesome. Xena bought that when we were in Melbourne last year.

Hmmm. When I went to italicise "The Odyssey" by clicking on the I, the screen refreshed! What a strange thing to have happen.

 

[Spiff]

Yeah, I tried to italicise something last night and something weird happened. Annoying.
