Yea I left a comment like that on the bulletin.
I'll see if I can tune in.
EDIT
scratch that. No matter what Time Zone I am in I am boned.
Well so far in the interview (40 minutes into the show) Michael has said that for the most part the fans are happy with the choice of Urban breed to be the new vocalist for the band and acknowledges that there will be the odd fan that doesn't agree with the band's choice. He also stated that they've been impressed with the amount of support the fans have shown for Urban.
He stated that he started writing material for the new album about one month ago since the band has been very busy with their day jobs/other bands/personal lives etc.
He stated that currently none of the festivals are showing interest in the band since there's no material with Urban (yet)
The new album will not be a concept album
Michael plans on stepping back a bit and letting the other band members contribute to writing songs/music (I guess he doesn't want to be compared to Jon Schaffer )
He talks about how the band has gotten away from the prog sound they had on Melancholy Beast and Legend of the Bone Carver and how on the new album they plan to continue with the sound that they started with on Immortal (however he's not sure if they'll have to change the tone to match Urban's vocal pitch ie: Framing Armageddon vs Crucible of Man)
The band is on the hunt for a new label. There are currently some negative feelings in the relationship the band has with Locomotive Records. Michael discusses making music videos and how the band can make a good video or a cheap video and that if they get on a label that can financial back them adequately then they'd consider making a vid.
Michael will be attending Wacken Open Air this year as a fan, and for every person he sees wearing a Pyramaze shirt, he'll buy them a beer and have a talk. So get buying your W.O.A. 2009 tickets!!!
We recorded the show in BluePoint Radio, so if anyone is interested, I'll send him the download link.
I'm kinda stunned by this, for two reasons...1) Pyramaze has released 3 very well-received albums by both fans & critics alike, and 2) Urban isn't exactly an unknown commodity in the metal community.He stated that currently none of the festivals are showing interest in the band since there's no material with Urban (yet)

Hmmm... I can't say I was too excited to hear that they would be pursuing the Immortal direction, as the album is superb but I am certainly more fond of the first two both in execution and atmosphere, but it will be killer not matter what because... well it's Pyramaze.
Hey there fellow knasboll! Of course we're moving on. No use releasing the same thing again is there? We'll take what we've got and that's alot, move on, explore new grounds and make the best album we can!However, we won't (hopefully) get another MB, LotBC or Immortal... Pyramaze will move on
