I'm sure everyone is very happy with this news. I know this album is going to rock.

I want 10!

 

[AC2]

Thanks!
Totally bummed when they had to cancel their ProgPower appearance.
I like these guys.
And, hey, I went to school in Swansea, so I love the Welsh connection.

 

[Symphony]

Swansea? No way.....just down the road from where one of our guitarists lives!

Yeah, to say we were gutted to be denied visas for last year is a HUGE understatement......would have been one of my career highlights for sure!

 

[Jasonic]

Great news Steve.
Will the new album be released on NAPALM?

 

[Symphony]

Yeah, it'll be out via Napalm in early 2011 dude!

 

[General Zod]

Congrats. Looking forward to checking it out.

 

[7thSaviour]

Rock on, Steve! Now get on over here so y'all can play us some DT covers, along with original material!

Small world!
Yes, I spent most of 1998 living in Swansea and going to what was at the time the University of Wales, Swansea. I think now it's just Swansea University.
I had a great time. There was this club called "The Zone" that once a week hosted a metal/industrial/goth night. Little hole in the wall, but lots of memories there. I wonder if it's still around...
Anyway, by "just down the road" do you mean Port Talbot, Bridgend, or (heaven forbid) Cardiff.

That's actually were I got the AC2 moniker. In my flat at Hendre, there was a local guy named Christian. The other American guy whose place I took was also named Christian. He was refered to as "American Christian". That being my name also, I was "American Christian: Two", or AC2. And now everyone knows...

I always wondered what your moniker meant. Now I know - thanks!

Haha! No problem. I'm not so much a "man of mystery" as my 7 years worth of board membership and measly 48 posts would indicate.

You coming down this year? Would love to chat again. I'm running solo this year (and have an extra ticket) since my friend had to bail.

Port Talbot dude!

Nice story on the moniker too! that's awesome!

Sweet. Ya, I could always see the fires burning in Port Talbot from across the bay.

Anyway, just read about all the lineup changes. Wow. This new album is certainly going to be different, but different can sometimes be awesome. Looking forward to it.

Oh, and whoever did that "misheard lyrics" video you've got posted, well, damn! That's funny stuff! Probably the best done misheard video since Nightwish's Wishmaster.

Agreeing with 7thSaviour, can't wait until a US tour.

Cheers.

 

[Symphony]

Yeah, I've been through the mill a little bit with line up changes over the past 12 months, and a couple of false starts with replacements, but the guys in the band now are really giving it 150% and the new material is just sounding so damn catchy in rehearsals!

Oh yeah, it was one of our forum regulars who did the "misheard" lyrics thing.....still makes me smile now and the first time I saw it I almost fell off my chair laughing!

Indeed......a visit to the US is long overdue I believe!
