Swedish power metallers REINXEED to release '1912' in June!

[Thematt202]

Sonata-esque you say??? Can't wait to give this a listen. Really can't get into new Sonata Arctica so this may be just what I'm looking for!

 

[Gibbon]

So they deleted the preview clip, but uploaded another video.

That video just confirmed my purchase of this CD!

 

[1928]

So here's a question I've been wondering - just how do you pronounce this band's name?

 

[Power_Metal_Dom]

In English it looks like "rain-zeed"?

 

[Nickstervarius]

In English it looks like "rain-zeed"?

Exactly what I was thinking also.

 

[Cronopio]

I think that's correct.

 

[Thematt202]

Would love to see them tour the UK! Majestic is fantastic!!

 

[Blinded No More]

Majestic is fantastic!!

Understatement of the year. Majestic was possibly the best album of 2010.

 

[1928]

I'm going to have to give Majestic a listen then with all this praise... ah, too many albums to buy!

 

[Gibbon]

Yes totally, can't decide what to get lol, really annoying

Anyway; do these guys play live? Couldn't find any info about that on their myspace

 

[Cronopio]

As far as I know, they've had very limited live activity outside of their hometown. They've played at a festival in Umeå, though, (I think) and at Pub Anchor in Stockholm.

 

[Thematt202]

Their Majestic album is nice, happy, fun power metal. I've had it on in the car all week and it's brightened up my journeys to and from work considerably!

 

[Cronopio]

My copy arrived today. Have only listened through it once, but it's pretty good. The sound quality/production has also improved quite a lot in comparison to the other albums. The Japanese edition is well worth getting, as you get not one, not two but THREE bonus tracks.

 

[Gibbon]

At the first page of this thread is says two?

Getting more tempted to order the japanese edition of this, will have to wait and see

 

[Cronopio]

Yeah, I thought there were going to be two too, but apparently they added an extra. It's "Pray for Japan", which was originally recorded for Golden Resurrection.

 

[Thematt202]

I absolutely love ReinXeed but that Pray for Japan video is soo cringeworthy!!! Good on them for helping the cause though!

Any reviews of the new album yet?

 

[Cronopio]

Reviews I've found so far:

There was also a rather negative (from what I gathered thanks to Google translate) review of the album in Polish, but I can't seem to find it now.

Expect my review soonish, too.

Finally checked out a song from this, gotta say I'm impressed.
Listened to "We Must Go Faster", sounds almost Ecliptica-esque. May have to check this out... damn having to choose between new albums to buy!

 

[Cronopio]

Just to entice you further, the bonus track for the Japanese version called ReinXeed Alliance may be their best bonus track ever. :-D

 

[Gibbon]

Seem to get good reviews, and can't wait for yours cronopio!

Ended up ordering japan version of this anyway, hopefully i'll get it tomorrow
