Anyone else pumped for this album? Figured I'd make a thread regarding information about it...

End of Innocence - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeoThjke2kM&feature=player_embedded

Dehumanized - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QtLbXeQkV8

All the songs can be previewed on iTunes. Decent lengthed samples.

Track list for Special Edition:

1."Iconoclast" – 10:53
2."The End of Innocence" – 5:29
3."Dehumanized" – 6:49
4."Bastards of the Machine" – 4:58
5."Heretic" – 6:26
6."Children of a Faceless God" – 6:22
7."When All Is Lost" – 9:10

2."Prometheus (I Am Alive)" – 6:48
3."Light Up the Night" – 5:05
4."The Lords of Chaos" – 6:11
5."Reign In Madness" – 8:37

According to Russell the album is about “"the idea of machines taking over everything, and all this technology we put our society into pretty much being our demise."

The album has been getting very good reviews, and you can find them here:

Yes, I'm pumped for this album though.

I wish I was more familiar with their back catalogue to actually be excited about new music. I'll definitely give it a spin or two when it comes out.

Well, I figured this album deserves its own thread specificly, instead of just a general discussion of the band. It makes it easier for the people who just want to read about the album specificly.

Unfortunately the fanbase for SX on this forum is relatively small compared to other crappier bands COUGHPAINOFSALVATIONCOUGH

Looking forward to this, Dehumanized and End of Innoncence are a great start, can't wait to hear the more 'epic' tracks though. I'm not gonna check the previews I don't think, just wait for the full album.

This, especially the bolded part.

I just finished listening to the preview samples on iTunes.

Damn it man, These 19 days until it comes out sure are gonna crawl.

AwakeFromOctavarium · « **Reply #13 on:** June 02, 2011, 08:37:26 PM »

The average length of songs looks promising. I'm pretty sure the title track will be some epic shit.

OsMosis2259 · « **Reply #14 on:** June 02, 2011, 11:04:59 PM »

I pre-ordered the album like 2-3 weeks ago and I'm excited for this

I'm waiting anxiously and all I heard from the album were the latest two singles. I didn't listen to any samples...

Here are some recent interviews with Romeo and Allen:

Iconoclast – 10:53
When All Is Lost – 9:10
Reign In Madness – 8:37

After listening to the samples, I really feel that these three songs will be some of the best songs SX has ever done.

Vajra · « **Reply #17 on:** June 03, 2011, 04:53:46 PM »

Curse you message board.

Global Laziness · « **Reply #18 on:** June 03, 2011, 05:13:13 PM »

I was skeptical when you posted it the first time, but after the second time I started to really believe it too!

Mebert78 · « **Reply #21 on:** June 03, 2011, 05:43:27 PM »

I'm excited! I ordered the 2 CD digipak with a t-shirt package. Can't wait to hear this beast of an album.

Bolsters · « **Reply #22 on:** June 04, 2011, 01:55:19 AM »

I've been so looking forward to this, but I had no idea that there were PREVIEWS OF EVERY FUCKING SONG ON ITUNES this whole time

Heretic · « **Reply #23 on:** June 04, 2011, 12:44:45 PM »

And those previews sound pretty fantastic. Really looking forward to this album.

There's even a song named after me

Phantasmatron · « **Reply #24 on:** June 04, 2011, 01:12:02 PM »

I'm interested...I think I'll get it when it comes out.

The sample of Iconoclast is probably the most brutal thing SX has ever written, easily on par with Domination. It's very chaotic, and really sounds like complex insanity.

OsMosis2259 · « **Reply #26 on:** June 04, 2011, 04:12:51 PM »

Loving all these positive feedback

TimmyHiggy · « **Reply #27 on:** June 04, 2011, 04:26:34 PM »

Can't wait, I've started enjoying SX a lot recently.

Vajra · « **Reply #28 on:** June 09, 2011, 09:25:09 PM »

Less than two weeks to go!

June 21st shall be a good day. (Though it comes out in some places on the 17th)

Heretic · « **Reply #29 on:** June 09, 2011, 09:32:33 PM »

I am very pumped! New August Burns Red also comes out that day, so I'll be broke, but happy!

OsMosis2259 · « **Reply #30 on:** June 09, 2011, 11:09:00 PM »

Can't wait till the album arrives!

Someone has done an amazing job at keeping this album under wraps.

^^I was about to say the exact same^^

I've done my usual checking...with nadda.

RuRoRul · « **Reply #33 on:** June 10, 2011, 10:41:25 AM »

Actually the word is that it leaked today, I haven't downloaded it but I've seen stuff online that looks like it could be the real thing, so maybe it has leaked.

Either way even if it leaks today or in the coming days it's only a week to go, can't wait to hear this album.

NecessaryPain · « **Reply #34 on:** June 10, 2011, 10:42:22 AM »

Indeed the pipe has burst.

I'll let you guys know if it's the real deal. I've ordered the 2 disc edition anyway.
