I kind of gave up paying attention to these guys a while ago. I figure if they ever get around to finishing the next album I will hear about it. This is an auto-buy for me.

Continues patiently waiting.

alright, alright I understand your feelings of futility. I was just struck by the comment "the only thing left to record is the vocals, and everything else is already finished" so ...........I mean.........it can't be THAT far off at this point. just know that the longer we wait, potentially, the more satisfying the album will be!

Nekov · « **Reply #143 on:** October 28, 2011, 01:41:10 PM »

I know I'm being repetitive but seriously, the comment above is calling for a Ytse rant.

lelanddt · « **Reply #144 on:** October 28, 2011, 02:48:37 PM »

he was here yesterday, just didn't have much to say about it. not much more fuel to his fire here.

The 1st Chapter was the best debut album that I have ever heard and Isolate was just as good. They can take another 10 years to release #3 if they want.

Not all bands can spoil us like DT can. (Just ask a Tool Fan)

Just remember that priorities change when you grow up and have kids. That's one of the main reasons why it takes time, because some things are more important than being a successful band. Trust me, the guys have been busy, but not with CM 24/7.
I talked with Truls last night, and it is indeed only vocals left. Once that is done, the only thing to wait for is for the label to print, promote and get it out there.
They want this to get released as fast as possible, believe me.

Zook · « **Reply #147 on:** October 29, 2011, 09:26:54 AM »

Well that's cool. You always gave off the impression that there was some bad blood between you guys. Good to see there isn't.

E.S. · « **Reply #148 on:** October 29, 2011, 11:34:46 AM »

That was never my intention, sorry if it seemed like that. No, there's nothing like that at all, really. They are the most jolly happy gang you'll ever meet.

cramx3 · « **Reply #149 on:** November 02, 2011, 05:02:28 PM »

Kind of figured that CM wasnt thier highest priority and thats fine... as long as the new album is good of course

Russian scientists have declared Bigfoot has been found. I believe that story MORE than I believe in ever seeing another Maximus Lazy-us album.

That's just absurd.

No one is going to believe Russian scientists.

For anyone interested Michael has a new project called The Magnificent. Album seems to be out now.

https://www.frontiers.it/news/10507/

“The Magnificent” includes the following tracks:
Holding On To Your Love; Cheated By Love; Memories; Angel; Satin & Lace; Love`s On The Line; Bullets; Smoke & Fire; Tired Of Dreaming; If It Takes All Night; Lost; Harvest Moon.

Holy eighties song titles, Batman. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE. I'm listening to Holding On To Your Love, and yep, it's definitely 80s inspired to the core, although it actually sounds good and not cheesy. Hopefully the other tracks HOLD up.

wolfking · « **Reply #154 on:** November 08, 2011, 03:49:41 PM »

I haven't listened to any of it, but it's on Frontiers so it will definitely be more AOR/melodic rock inspired. Frontiers never really disappoints IMO, great catalog of artists. The guitarist is from Leverage too which might explain a more straight ahead melodic approach.

Think Arrival Of Love. The songs (sampled on the site) are pretty much all like that, but as generic as the lyrical topics are, I really like what I'm hearing. I think that has mostly to do with Michael Eriksen as he's one of my favorite singers.

listening to the songs that are available. Me likes.

Arrival of Love was actually one of my favs on that album, so I better pick this up. I'm a huge AOR/melodic Frontiers rock fan boy though.

Im a big Arrival of Love fan, I guess I should check this out.

What an 80s timelapse...in a good way.

HarlequinForest · « **Reply #162 on:** November 08, 2011, 10:24:53 PM »

I like it a lot as well; I always got kind of an Innocence Faded vibe from that song.

YtseBitsySpider · « **Reply #163 on:** November 09, 2011, 06:01:40 AM »

Amazing that he has all this free time for side projects.
Probably as close as I'll get to anything sounding like CM.
I'll check it out.

obscure · « **Reply #164 on:** December 01, 2011, 08:13:51 AM »

I was planning on a CM night and found this thread... fun read... a lot of anger around their laziness... fair enough though... I can understand Ytse's rant as I have been there with the bands I managed in the past...

This sums it up quite well:

Thanks for this news. I love what I'm hearing so far.

Nekov · « **Reply #168 on:** December 06, 2011, 12:00:44 PM »

From their Facebook:

"Vocal booth buildt today..vocal recordings starts tomorrow !"

Maybe by the end of 2012 we'll get the new album. I would bet the end of the world will come first though...

Guitalguy · « **Reply #169 on:** December 17, 2011, 08:09:43 AM »

Damn... I just discovered this band yesterday. Kind of strange that I haven't listened to them before, since I'm Norwegian and all. Maybe that increases the odds of me getting to see them sometime

obscure · « **Reply #170 on:** December 17, 2011, 10:42:19 AM »

lucky you...

Nekov · « **Reply #171 on:** February 09, 2012, 06:55:11 AM »

New Facebook update

"Only 2 songs remain and the vocals are done!!!"

This should be finish sometime this year. I'm excited

obscure · « **Reply #172 on:** February 09, 2012, 06:56:17 AM »

Cool... I'm glad that Mike is proving Kris wrong...

...nem....you're young and beautiful, but you're old enough to know that fairy tales are just make-believe.

Let me know when the Leprechauns bring this album. They'll be riding shiny unicorns and delivering gold for the tooth fairy.

I came here just to read YBS's comment, and I'm not disappointed
