News on Demons & Wizards

[Wyvern]

SPV Records confirms details regarding the second DEMONS & WIZARDS album. It's gonna be called "Touched By The Crimson King", comes out on June 27th and the tracklist is: ‘Crimson King’, ‘Beneath These Waves’, ‘Terror Train’, ‘Seize The Day’, ‘The Gunslinger’, ‘Love’s Tragedy Asunder’, ‘Wicked Witch’, ‘Dorian’, ‘Down Where I Am’ and ‘Immigrant Song’ (LED ZEPPELIN cover). Besides Jon Schafer (ICED EARTH) and Hansi Kursch (BLIND GUARDIAN) features on guitars Ritchie Wilkinson (ex-Angel Dust), on bass Oliver Holzwarth (Blind Guardian) and on drums Richard Christy (ex-Death, Iced Earth).

Well the line up is pure gold, as much as I'm not fond of having a LZ cover (or any cover) if the original music goes in the same vein as the debut this is a real winner.

EW i cant believe theyre actually doing a zepplin cover, *NOTE* im not saying theyre bad, im saying it just so happens i dont care for them....nobodys bitchin me out!

And the lineup seems to be wrong...
At least according to www.morrisound.com, Bobby Jarzombek slays the drums on the new D&W and I actually like that better, though Christy's great as well.
But there's only one Bobby J.

I sincerely doubt it'd match the intensity of Dark Angel's version...

Looks like the Zep song is tacked on to the end... maybe it's a "bonus track".

It was like that with White Room, which was a bonus on digipaks...

Sounds great. I been expecting this new D&W album for years.

 

[wdiv]

I think I'd rather have a new Iced Earth or a new Blind Guardian album, but I can settle for a new D&W album. sigh...

As far as BG are concerned, I think Thomen and his Savage Circus will do a great job, if the BG themselves fail to deliver...

 

[Wyvern]

As much as Thomen leaving BG is hard for me (because I love bands that can keep stable line-ups for years), I'm sure that his departure will not affect BG creativity or quality

I'll check it out, not a priority in my book. That's right even if Schaffer is on there!
I'm not a fan of the singer from Blind Gardian, whatever that troll's name is...
I have the last record, just for the collection...
I'm looking forward to the Iced Earth DVD that's slated for later in the year...
This? Nah...

This is the version I have with the Pop-up...
Great packaging...

 

[EVERLOSTINDEADETERNITY]

FIddler On The GReen is gonna be the song to beat from the last record. If they put out anything as close to being as great as that song Ill get it ASAP.

 

[sixxswine]

When I spoke to Jon a year ago, he said that the new record would bury the old one!
He's biased. We'll see...

The "troll" is called Hansi Kursch and is one of my favorite singers, I would had expected more from you Sixx

i will agree, Hansi is an outstanding singer, and on no accounts a "troll"
