No idea.

The funny thing is, I only found it because I went searching for new info.

I've known about this, but I thought the release was in November for some reason.  Nick must be real busy if he forgot to update the thread before someone else.

Wicked. I was just listening to Masquerade Overture the other day. I don't listen to Pendragon enough, but when I do, I'm always.  :omg: and  :hefdaddy

Good to see a Pendragon thread here. Great band, with a distinctive-sounding vocalist. I bought The Masquerade Overture about a year ago, and I love it! Especially Paintbox and Guardian of My Soul. I will get around to buying more of their albums in due time. Perhaps starting with Men Who Climb Mountains.

MO was my first Pendragon album and I liked it but it didn't blow me away. It was very Marillion-y but a bit too folk music-y, maybe in the vocals.
Pure is a great album though. I like this new track and will probably get this album.

Definitely check out Passion man if you liked Pure.

Digging the new Pendragon a lot. Outstanding soloing in Truth and Lies. There's some Hogart-like moments in this album. There's a song where I thought H was singing but it is Nick.

Is it better than the last one?  Last one was a major letdown after Pure and Passion.

Wow, I totally missed there was a new album out. It's not in the online music services unfortunately and I'm not a fan of paying for an album before I listen to it. :-\

Love Over Fear is a pretty good album. I've only listened to it twice, so I haven't fully digested the tunes yet. Feels a bit like a return to the classic sound of The World thru Not Of This World. 360 Degrees is definitely an anthemic sing-along, like Nostradamus (Stargazing).

I've also been reacquainting myself with Men Who Climb Mountains. That album now feels like a halfway step between the heaviness and guitar-dominance of Passion and its few predecessors, and the "softer" proggier sound of Love Over Fear.

Changing the subject, but still Pendragon-related...a few years ago I attempted to buy The World, in a 2013 reissue, but the tracks were all offset by 2 minutes or so, and the first two minutes were cut from the beginning of the album. I sent that one back, and I've been scared to try again in case it winds up being a bad copy again. They have not been pulled from sale at all, despite the obvious fault. I have to make sure it's an original 1991 copy, or else I'm not buying.

Yes. It's definitely way better than Men Who Climb Mountains.

For what it's worth, I really like Men Who Climb Mountains. Not as much as NOTW or MO, but certainly more than Passion. I don't think metal suits Pendragon well, really, and they were trying to be something they're not on that album. They're a prog band, not a metal band.

I discovered them with Pure and still think it's unbelievable.  I'm the opposite, I think that style works really really well for them.

I'll check this new one out.
