Trailer:



yeah.

The review as I posted in the 1st part of the 2015-2016 preview entry, there's already some favorite reviews showing up here as of 1/11/16

Wait-and-see. The trailer really does translate to what I would expect though.

1st single "The Gift of Music"..not bad, not excessive, yet still them.

Cover Art also added below.




11/18/15 1:55PM-11/24/15 6:22AM (Act II Track List edited)

I know it was posted awhile ago, blah blah, but it's worth an update I suppose.

Lot Medieval Cheese within there.

The selection of "The Great Northern Empire" and "The Ravenskill Rebel Militia" per the email list and it seems part of the concept of this album, has been up for like a week or whatever.

A lot of critical comments online about this, just based on the premise and title alone. I guess my expectation for it isn't all that high anyway. If it's cheesy, so be it, I just hope there's a few moments to enjoy. But the truth is, their S/T album I barely remember much about. A Dramatic Turn of Events was okay, although I hardly find myself longing to go back to it right now.
