Giving this a shot now on Spotify...will it unseat Headspace as my prog metal album of the year? WE SHALL SEE.

I bought this album yesterday after seeing all the praise here. I've listened to it twice already and it was even better the second time. I really love the mix of male and female vocals. Favorite songs right now are The Struggle and World of Wonders. This album is easily in my top 10 of the year. I know it took years to make but I hope this isn't their only album. I can't wait to see what else they're capable of. :metal

Awesome album. I think prog wise I like Headspace just a touch more this year (Daddy Fucking Loves You carries it to the win) but that doesn't make this album any less awesome. Definite top 10 material for me, I love the occasional Savatage vibe they get into here without overly aping Savatage. I see this getting a lot of listens.

And wow, Where The Earth And Sky Meet is glorious.

Really a great prog band. Loved "The Struggle"; the two vocalists' duet really poured their awesome skills on this one.

They are going to be playing at Prog Power in Atlanta.  Here's your chance, American folks.

I so would go.

OK... Just listened to this album for the first time.

This is a great album. The music is fantastic. I heard it in my car, but I can only imagine how it would sound some quiet night with a couple of beers.
I definitely felt that the first half was much stronger, but all in all, a great first listen.

I bought it a few weeks ago and I am worshipping it right now. Best album I've heard in a while!

An amazingly powerful emotional journey that song.  Not many songs can choke me up, but that one manages.

Great album and strong performance in Atlanta last weekend.  Dilenya Mar was scary thin.  Looked anorexic!

obscure

I know!!!!!

A short funny convo I, Henning Pauly and Adrian O'Shaughnessy had over her pic.... to give you the background to the convo... When we're at Henning's place for the recording sessions, the man starved us to death.... because he wasn't eating much himself.... we weren't amused :p

What the hell? Check BtB's latest facebook update. Apparently, one of the band members, Simon Oberender, has passed away. I don't know what to say. That's terrible for them. They have my condolences. :(

WHAT? NOOOOO  :'(


edit: He is a fantastic guy.. well.. was...very kind... insanely talented.... hard to accept ..... SAD SAD NEWS!!!!!

MoraWintersoul

I've been crying for the past twenty minutes, this is so awful. Shock. I have no idea what to say, he was so young!

lonestar

I'm in shock. Wonder what the hell happened? Damn man, so young and talented, just a tragedy.

ich bin besser

Oh my god... Thinking of the guys and the families...  :|

Scorpion

Oh shit man. That must really suck for all those involved.

My condolences go out to them.

obscure

From my very own objective



If I am in this much pain after having spent only two nights with him, I can't imagine his family and friends now..... that kind and lovely he was.....
sending my prayers....

I knew the band was somewhat emerging with their latest album. Unfortunately I never checked them out before today. Still, this is very a very saddening and shocking piece of news. Just like no song should be interrupted abruptly, no man should ever see such an untimely end to the song of his life.

I'm listening to their album right now as I write. It's great, so far.

guitarrero

i'm just devastated... :( This is just incredibly sad news. Thourhgts and prayers to his loved ones and the band.  :'(

yesrushdt

Shocking news. My condolences go out to Simon's family, friends and bandmates. Truly a sad day.

Ben_Jamin

Shocking and sad. And on the day another great young musician  was taken. I wish the band they can continue and make great music to honor him.

I just watched the teaser I made for BtB and am close to losing it..... just pay attention to the... well around the 5 minute mark where Simon stops speaking... and then the time when I use Simon's photo.... around the 6 minute mark.. when suddenly the music, the mood changes... I am either so sentimental right now or God indeed works in mysterious ways..... :(

I'm just... I dunno, I cannot stop thinking about him and about this.

Horrible news indeed, my thoughts are with his family and friends.
