I don't like Shattered Skies that much, but I had the Internets and a 'like' button, so what the fuck.

Seriously, though, this is really cool stuff and it's so great to hear this style of music WITHOUT growls. I'm so sick of being forced to listen to that hideous growly vocal style whenever I'm trying to get into the instrumental style that you guys play. And you don't just chunk on the low-end which, again, so many of these genre tend to do.

I'll subscribe and keep checking you out, I don't like to make snap decisions, but I'm enjoying what I've heard so far.

Nobody's forcing you to do anything, and there's plenty of music in this style that doesn't have the growls that you seem to not like.

Right. Just like nobody is forcing me to play the classically stupid "let's derail the thread and start a flamewar by dissecting someones' post and taking it all literally" forum game that you seem to want to start. I give up. You win. It's over.

Will this album be available on iTunes at some point? It'll end up costing me about $25 (probably more once customs tears through it) to order a physical copy since our Canadian dollar is so crap right now.

Calm down there buddy, that's not even close to trying to start a flamewar.

I'm not your Buddy, Pal.

Yup, as of release day next Monday it'll be on iTunes, Bandcamp, Spotify, all that good stuff!

Great, count me in, and good luck to you guys, just please no re-release 2 weeks later with bonus tracks.

HAPPY RELEASE DAY! The album is officially available to download and stream right here folks, enjoy:

Cool, I'll check it out since I won't get my physical copy in about a week.

Rockettmeister · « **Reply #115 on:** January 15, 2015, 04:14:10 AM »

Cool, hope you dig it!

Zook · « **Reply #116 on:** January 18, 2015, 12:39:21 AM »

Great album for sure. Took a few listens. If there is one thing to complain about it's that the singer gets drowned out quite a few times.

Also, all the riffs are the same in every song and you guys are Dream Theater wannabes. Can I order this at my local record store or do I have to buy through bandcamp?

Zydar · « **Reply #117 on:** January 18, 2015, 02:53:15 AM »

First listen now, liking it so far

lonestar · « **Reply #118 on:** January 18, 2015, 08:38:04 AM »

This album is fucking spectacular.

bl5150 · « **Reply #119 on:** January 18, 2015, 08:52:31 AM »

Only two songs struck the right balance with me - The End and the Rebirth and Aesthetics are both top notch , but the rest I found the guitar sound/style overbearing and a bit monotonous. I'm not on top of the whole djent terminology but I assume that's the style here - doesn't appeal to me for the most part but the two songs I mentioned have another dimension to them and I really enjoyed them.

lonestar · « **Reply #120 on:** January 18, 2015, 09:19:58 AM »

I love the dentist style and they handle It nicely here, but iI will agree that aesthetics is far and away the top song. Just perfec.

Rockettmeister · « **Reply #121 on:** January 18, 2015, 06:04:40 PM »

Thanks guys, Zook the album can be bought on bandcamp, iTunes, Google Play etc or you can order the CD from https://shatteredskies.bigcartel.com/product/the-world-we-used-to-know

We are definitely unashamed Dream Theater wannabes

Been looking forward to this album for a while, great start to the new music year receiving this in the post on release day.

Enjoyt the full album but since people were talking about favourites I just wanted to say Haunted is amazing. Definitely my early favourite (alongside Saviours but I have loved that song since it as forest released).

Lol

Stupid phone.

Finally was able to break myself away from the album, briefly. Got a good feeling this one will earn a permanent spot in my weekly playlist. The final four songs are just brilliantly delivered.

Rockettmeister · « **Reply #128 on:** February 01, 2015, 03:55:53 PM »

Hey UK folks, first leg of our tour kicks off tomorrow, hope some of you might be able to make it!

lonestar · « **Reply #129 on:** February 01, 2015, 05:22:46 PM »

Still to far from San Francisco. Keep trying.

Mebert78 · « **Reply #130 on:** February 20, 2015, 09:50:22 PM »

Yes! Finally some djent without harsh vocals besides Tesseract. Just read about these guys in Prog magazine. Can't wait to listen to more of this album. Just checked out a couple songs on youtube so far.

Ben_Jamin · « **Reply #131 on:** February 22, 2015, 06:02:22 PM »

My favorite song is Beneath the Waves.

Ben_Jamin · « **Reply #132 on:** October 19, 2017, 08:23:30 PM »

Just heard your new stuff on Bandcamp. Pretty good.

lonestar · « **Reply #133 on:** June 23, 2018, 06:14:23 PM »

New track of their upcoming album released with the new singer. I honestly think I like this guys voice better than the previous one, seems to have more dynamics and potential. Eagerly awaiting the album in full...

Shattered Skies were amazing before the lineup changes.
