Ok, epic closing track all but confirmed  :metal
I use my sig to pimp some bands from Italy! Check out Elvenking (Power / Folk metal), Folkstone (Rock / Medieval metal), Arcana Opera (Gothic/Noir/Heavy metal) and the beautiful voice of Elisa!

Closing epic is all I needed to hear, but this could be anything from 11 minutes to 50 minutes given their examples.  :lol

I suspect another side-length epic in the 18-24 minute range, probably Side D of the double vinyl they'll be putting out. So far it seems like they've written at least 5 or 6 songs, and there's at least one epic (the closing track). Sounds like a typical DT album, but I'm hoping the music is a progression of where they've been going since DOT and AVFTTOTW, mixed with some classic DT flare.

OK, 8 tracks.  First 7 total 15 minutes.  Track 8 = 60 minutes.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Track 8 = 60 minutes.

With each part indexed so we can endlessly argue whether it's actually one song or a collection of songs.

Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

Oh please no! :rollin
It sounds like, "ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk." Instead of the more pleasing kick drum sound of, "gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk."

Is it a suite? A single song? A song cycle? A medley?!
