That is such bad planning if it's US only, especially considering there is such a huge fanbase outside the country. South America and Europe consistently provide massive crowds at live shows. Fingers crossed something's sorted.

SeRoX

For who don't live in USA can use Hotspot Shield for once to view the song. It sets your IP like it's located in USA.

cyberdrummer

Thanks, will give it a go. But my point still stands.

I'm sure they'll get a non-USA stream set up very soon. The band and their management knows that the vast majority of the band's fans are not in the USA.

cyberdrummer

I'm thinking Metal Hammer might stream it, they did some of the JLB tracks.

Doesn't sound like bad planning to me.  Their audience is already bigger in those other areas, it makes sense to try to grow their audience here in the States.

cyberdrummer

Yes, but it also doesn't make sense to prevent a large proportion of their fans from hearing the band's new single. It would hardly be fair, would it?

Anyway, I'm still confident something will be set up so I'm not going to complain too much yet.

It's seems to be only available only at the US :/

Just confirmed that this is an USA ONLY stream and premiere.

Waiting to see if there is a premiere for outside the US, will update when I learn something.

Sorry, friends.  :'(
Seriously, what the fuck.

RoeDent

Have patience. Us outside the US will get it shortly, no doubt.

wasteland

Yeah, that definitely suck. I trust that Wey will find a way to stimulate a correction this blunder. If not, I will make good use of SeRoX's advice  :yarr

Pepe108

Please, american people, don't say too much in this forum until we all get to listen to the song.

dparrott

I think USA Today is the FIRST to get it, but it'll probably be linked on DT's homepage somehow.

This is what social media is good for, people.  Make your voice heard!  FIGHT....FOR.....CHANGE!

Hey Europeans, we have a new Haken AND a new Headspace song to enjoy on Monday! :D

I haven't heard Headspace, and while Haken is great, for me, DT blows everything else out of the water so fucking hard it's not even funny anymore  :lol

If not Hotspot Shield, there are other free VPN tools/capabilites to get you in.  If not, I'm sure someone will have it up on YT by the end of the day Monday.

I don't know if this will be georestrictive, and I think it probably won't be, but if it is...

IMPORTANT: YOU MAY ONLY TALK ABOUT HOW TO LISTEN TO THIS OR ANY OTHER SONG THROUGH LEGAL MEANS! That means if it somehow does become available elsewhere you can not discuss those means here.

There will be streams in something like 20 countries/territories according to RRs twitter.

Will we still be allowed to talk about the actual song regardless of how we got to it?  :lol

We assume you've heard it legally unless you break a rule and lead us to believe otherwise. :)

Cool.  However, DT's first singles since they have joined Roadrunner have been Constant Motion (amazing song), A Rite of Passage (not bad, but kind of forgettable) and On the Backs of Angels (really good song), so I will listen this to this with the assumption that it is more likely than nood at least a very good song

Fixed.

I will *never* be able to listen to CM again without hearing that instead...

I'm sure they will upload single on DT Youtube chanell as :soon: as possible

Of all the evils I was expecting my disgruntled blog rant to unleash, the word "hectoring" was... not one of them.

USAtoday region lock - I'm sure it's a good marketing spot, and if they've got that much clout and requested exclusivity it might be that the website had them in something of an arm-lock, but it seems rather arbitrary, in such a way that it puts kind of a bitter taste in my mouth. Not cool, RoadRunner. And it's a shame that my first thoughts about The Enemy Inside's premiere - which I should be stoked for - are, "Well, that kind of sucks." I don't think that's a great vibe to foster. I'm still excited... but excited with a pretty big asterisk.

Well, why the hell wouldn't they do that in the first place? I don't get it.
