everyone should buy this one! unique sound that cant really be compared with other bands and i say cheers for that!

A CURIOUS NOTE! riff in Road Goes Ever On very similar to one of the best mexican metal songs ever written: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMLHgmtvdvs

Cheers mate! I forwarded the link to Patrick the Songwriter. He was really amused. A damn good tune!

I don't think Patrick can make a better album than this, but I'd like to hear him try.

the other newer songs they had on the myspace were pretty quality too, I wouldn't put it past him/them at all

Haha, seriously I'd think it would be pretty difficult to make a recording with that particular vibe or sound, since the making of it was done with "limited" resources* leading to a very long process which I'm sure Patrick wouldn't wanna relive. We would love to try, though!
As for the overall direction I believe we've found our style there and then (just like Celtic Frost on To Mega Therion

).

*Four track porta studio, tiny pocket guitar processor stuck on auto-wah, bullying a stupid vocalist, having to play the guitar and at the same time changing programs on the drum machine during the recording of 16 minutes tracks - the list goes on...

Well hurry up and make another masterpiece then!

Göran always says the glass is half empty, but I say there's more in the fridge!

Well, I hope to be able to start putting down ideas on tracks (not 4 though

) as soon as possible, but a few things needs to be arranged first. We'll see if a whole album will be finished before 2020...

Well, you should know.... you saw my struggle when I tried to squeeze into that ol' t-shirt! Haha!

Already done that, but I have not too many vinyls to brag about...

Invasion + Metal does the trick, I'm sure.

Got the lp in the mail from High Roller today, just finished giving it a first spin and it is really, really great.

Cheers and thanks! Great to hear that you enjoyed the album!

The artwork on the inside of the gatefold is based on the cover from the original promo cd-r promo. The images on each side (that are faded into the background) are also taken from the cd-r promo booklet.
