The day is fast approaching, so things are starting to change...
There are two new songs from our new EP (In Loving Memory) on the website right now - many of you have probably heard them (or some version of them), but we're wanting to start giving you a taste of what is to come. We'll be posting more of the songs over the next couple of weeks - please let us know what you think of them! We'll also have some videos with a bit of insight into the writing/recording process for each of the songs.
My goodness, we've been working on this project for almost a year (sorry for saying we'd release it in January!!), and it's release is finally upon us. I'm EXCITED! I'm actually going to pick up the physical copies of the CDs today - the preorders might ship a little earlier than the release date (which is still simply Mid-July - we don't know exactly what date yet), so go preorder if you're as excited as we are...
The ball is rolling, and there will be MUCH more news soon, so stay tuned!

Would it be weird if I said that my favorite line from the new album is from the liner notes? I am seriously blown away by the mention. Actually, I'm blown away by the whole thing! Incredible new stuff!
Thanks Manic Bloom!!

Really like it. Thanks for the samples. I definatly like the new style. You can hear the different parts more clearly and the lyrics tend to jump out which carries you along more with the melody and story. It's crisper and earthier. I miss the thicknes of the old versions though.
lol
(((hug)))))))
online critics, yeah.
If it was me, I'd like it produced as a mix of the both. So lots more grunt carefully mixed so you don't lose clarity.
But that's me. Lovin your songwriting. Looking forward to the album!!

I preordered it for my birthday... real late birthday present but one that will last such a long time and will be so amazing worth the wait!
btw when bands redo a song it is usually worse... but Never backdown did not backdown any of its amazingness

@Ryan - yeah i totally agree! No offense, but i really didn't like the acoustic version of 1000 angels. Remix is way bettter. And love the piano solo in Never Back Down!
