I thought the new song was kind of meh, but that's usually how I feel about most video game songs.

This song could have definitely been on Diamonds in the Rough. Not the most amazing song but it makes me happy to see that they're starting to write again.

I think they're just reminding everyone that that is the final day to do their taxes.

That was confusing. Imo it should have been written as "2013-04-15" as in Year-Month-Day.

It's about time for a new album. I just recently listened to City of Evil and it still slays :metal

Hmm, this combined with that earlier clip gives me much hope for this album. I really hope there is a display of what they've learned throughout each album on this album-- a combination of the best things from each: the heaviness of WTF, the progressive/thrash-y approach to COE, the experimentation on various songs on the S/T, and the emotional quality of the songs from Nightmare. They are a standout in modern mainstream metal, and as such I really do believe they're going to take some risks and produce something fantastic.

Also, they've been hinting at various things around the internet-- one of these things being a possible concept album. They've wanted to do that for a while, so I'd be thrilled to hear their take on one.

The release date is 8/27.

I like the cover... but I'm a fanboy...

There are so many lazy outs taken on that cover that it's ridiculous. Like, as an artist, I literally find so many things about the cover to be poor. However, it reminds me of City of Evil, which was a cover that was also a bit over the top (or Iron Maiden-y) so I'm still hopeful for the music.

That cover has so much potential to be Sinister and such, but awful stylistic and colour choices ruin it.

Well they're huge Maiden fans. I always thought they had a lot of Maiden in them from the beginning. Maiden is my favorite band so I'm ok with this.

I don't understand what's wrong with that cover, it's cartoony and kinda cool.

I'm not a fan of the 'smooth,' almost detail-less style and the colors used. Just kinda grates.

OTOH, City of Evil had a very cartoony cover, but it had a cool kinda style to it that made it work rather well.

yeah if it's anything like City of Evil I will be quite happy. I really hope they release a single soon, I'm interested to know in what direction they've truly taken this album.

Definitely, thier cover of Flash of the Blade is pretty good.

In terms of the album cover, I think the art work is OK, but the album title is pretty lame.  If you are going to hail to the king, this album better be fucking amazing.
