Holy shit, new While Heaven Wept!!

Fear of Infinity, April 22, 2011

Maybe it'll have more than one really great song this time and/or not blow its artistic and creative load on the very first one.

 

[Einherjar86]

My only problem with Vast Oceans... was that it was basically half an album; the final two tracks were just meandering instrumental ambience (although very beautiful). In my opinion, "The Furthest Shore," "To Wander the Void" and "Vessel" are all absolutely awesome. "Living Sepulchre" is mediocre.

 

[Matt]

Symphony X has a new album coming out later this year. Hopefully it's better than the last one.

 

[SentinelSlain]

How come Miskatonic records haven't said anything on their blog for so long?

 

[JayMo]

So glad we didn't have to wait half as long for new Dredg this time. Very curious to see what direction they take things after the previous album was such a departure in many ways from the previous two.

 

[SweptbackFlame]

I'll say this the new Blackguard album "Firefight" is seriously kicking my ass!

 

[theoden236]

anyone here familar with Tesseract? their debut came out on 3/22 (which i bough yesterday) and i must say it's freakin' awesome.

[Dak]

Scar Symmetry needs to slow the fuck down with album releases.

 

[SweptbackFlame]

Scar Symmetry needs to slow the fuck down with album releases.

agreed...Not that it matters though as Scar Symmetry fucking blows without Alvestam.

 

[celestialelixir]

agreed...Not that it matters though as Scar Symmetry fucking blows without Alvestam.

This a thousand times.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

Another new Jesu song, "Small Wonder": http://caldoverderecords.com/ascension/index2.html

 

[Luoto]

Emotional first single as expected, that Tales-y keyboard line is a nice touch. Also available on their Facebook page if that gets taken down.

Shining, Anaal, and Novembers Doom are the only ones on that list worth a damn to me.
