Orchestral version of The Days of Grays ftw!

And I posted it earlier so you may not know, but Flag in the Ground actually predates Ecliptica :O

Yeah saw that, cool stuff. Orchestral version is a little overly cheesy for me, but the original sounds like it was going somewhere great, but the sound cuts out halfway through on Spotify. :(

Ah well, I'll just wait for the album.

I think it's an especially moving song, considering it's about wolves.

I just heard The Last Amazing Grays, and was pretty pleased. Somewhat Unia-ish, but still pretty catchy. It's not proggy like Unia but there is a lot more of a symphonic sound. There was no guitar solo, though.  :sad:

I have yet to order mine, mostly because I'm still sifting through all the versions to find which ones I want most. So far the ones I'm looking at are

-Webshop 2 disc version [second disc: orchestral versions of some of the songs. Bonus Track: In the Dark]

-American version [Unknown if orchestral disc may be available; bonus track: In My Eyes You're a Giant]

-Japanese 2 disc version [Second disc: Live CD of about 7 different songs on the Unia Tour]


I always end up getting at least two versions of an album to get everything, but this time they're releasing a crapload of stuff!

So it isn't out yet? I've been listening to an insane amount of power metal recently (thanks, Stratovarius), and SA has been one of the bands I've been listening to. Looking forward to this album now

Don't expect too much power metal from them, as they've been taking more steps toward the progressive genre with each album.

Have you seen the new music video? The single is power metal as hell.

This album is more of reckoning night meet unia.

Luckily it works, as I can't stand most of unia.

Since Unia was my first SA album and I was introduced to them through their newer "sound", I probably enjoy it more than most here. Funny because I went into their past releases and didnt enjoy them that much.

I've been a fan since before Reckoning Night, and I still feel that Unia is the best thing they've put out so far. New album seems like it might top Unia though.

Edit: By the way, if anyone still hasn't checked out Cain's Offering, DEW IT NAO.

I got them in pretty much this order; Ecliptica, RN, Unia, Silence. (and the live albums at I think before RN)

And Unia is my favorite album, along with WHG which I still don't own...
Having heard Deathaura I definately will like this album, I might buy it pretty soon.

They're remarkable live, but I do advise that you bring hearing protection as they do tend to get very loud.

This. Only concert I experienced that was louder than Sonata was God is an Astronaut, and that is post-rock (usually pretty loud). I swear that Sonata gave me worse hearing. It might've been worth it though - they are awesome live.

Albums in greatest/not quite as great order: Reckoning Night, Silence, Unia, Ecliptica, Winterheart's Guild.

I'll have to check out the new album.  Flag To The Ground was good, but nothing special.

Quote from: axeman90210
Mr. Neccy, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent post were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this board is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Just pre-ordered. The deluxe edition was just as expensive as the normal one :/. Orchestral sounds interesting though.

That's still quite a lot over the average wolf-songs per album for other bands.
