Kinda weird to do that poo poo in the middle of a tour with such a terse announcement, so idk.

I'm still so cynical from Stratovarius' obvious publicity stunts with Timo Tolkki/Miss K. back in the mid-aughts that I can never take announcements like this seriously. Somewhere, there's a PR company advising the band to not say anything about what happened so fans will continue to speculate, discuss, and engage with their brand online

Really interested to hear about this. Honestly, it�s such a cool time we live in, ie that taking lessons from �famous� musicians is a thing that you can do (�famous� in the sense of our own sub-subgenre nerdery)

One lesson in, he's a cool guy but also a pretty by-the-book teacher, and I'm not sure if I'm digging the vibe yet. I also booked a lesson with Adon Fanion from Ghost Ship Octavius to try a different approach, and see which one I like better and want to continue with. Gonna meet with him midweek.

I wasn't looking to do anybody subgenre-famous honestly, it just works out that metal voice teachers are so hard to come by that you end up with name-brand people as often as not.

Unforgiven 3 is actually a pretty solid song that gone dirty by the absolutely stupid title, IMO.

All Nightmare Long rules and I feel like in retrospect, you can kinda hear it's where James started figuring out how to use his head voice (or whatever the actual singing technique it's called) to be able to do the more aggressive high notes again, which he's been doing a ton since.

song would have been better if not for the absolutely intolerable titular line and James singing "or are you unforgiven 3"

I'll admit I haven't kept up with their last couple of albums but the "tech thrash" tag really threw me for a loop. They've always done a lot of genre-hopping but I've always kind of considered them a trad/heavy band at heart with forays into prog and doom. That being said, listening to the new single is pretty wild because yeah, there's a tech thrash vibe for sure.

Honestly didn't know they were putting out a new album, it sounds like they were put in a lovely situation where Metal Blade basically passed on it and dropped them so they had to go the self-release route.

Anyone recognize what this track is lifted from/inspired by?

https://youtu.be/gi6cRnVVMk0

It’s some kind of metal, I know that, but the bands and riffs it reminds me of escape me. Definitely not the later, darker, more doom-y metal as far as I can tell. I don’t think it’s thrash either.

I was going to comment that this kind of reliance on pedal tone was really very common among NES action games around the 1988-1992 period. I nearly referenced the Ninja Gaiden trilogy, then dug a little and saw that Tsukasa Masuko was actually doing the NES sound driver programming for Tecmo at the time, so that's probably not a coincidence. Their audio engine made these kinds of compositions sound good.

Honestly, I'd be surprised if this was lifted from anything directly. Japan was just picking up early visual kei bands like X [Japan] and Seikima-II, and they were characterized by a lot more dynamics and interesting stuff happening on the guitar. This sounds kinda like a sound programmer with 6 months of guitar lessons noodling around on a $100 Ibanez and translating their riffs onto a 2A03

Magic Circle

Nice, definitely got that Mats Lev�n kind of sound, like his work on Therion's Lemuria/Sirius B. I'm sad that they went so lo-fi with the EQ trying to capture that classic metal sound, because I really want to hear more of this guy's voice in the mix. Looks like he's got a dozen other bands, though.

I wasn't into this at first�he sounds like a doom metal Chester Bennington�but these vocals are really growing on me. He's taking this tonality that I've only really heard tenor metal singers get, and pulling it way down into the baritone range. It takes a ton of control to mix that breathiness into a belt in the low end. There's a bunch of different musculatures that go into these different styles of breath support, and he just switches between them like a classical guitarist doing chord changes. Impressive diversity of vocal sounds between the tracks on this album.

I think the self-production on the last two albums has been great, and I'm really glad to have Jens Bogren out of the way, but I do think he did a better job producing Jonas's vocals than the band has been able to capture independently on the past couple of releases. It's not just lacking dynamics in some key spots, but it's EQed wrong to the point of sounding scratchy in places.
