 :omg:

I am so fuckin shocked... I set up an interview with Dec like 2 weeks ago... He didn't say anything..... :dunno:
He even sent me a track from the album.... Damn it was so damn good.....

:wahhh: :wahhh: :wahhh:



Edit: Just talked to Dec. Everything was written by Dec and Simon, and will get released...  we can calm down....

Still, it was such a sharp looking lineup with West, Leijenaar and Gildenlow.

At least we now know there will be a second Affector album!!

I hope it's as good as Flying Colors!

FTFY :tup

Anyways... Collin sure has been busy since not touring with Neal...I wonder if he misses it? I still have yet to hear Affector's album, but I've heard good things about it. THIS band, however, sure has an interesting line-up. I've only heard of Dec thru Frost*, only know about Threshold (never actually heard them), and I've never even heard of Darkwater, and I know of POS but very little of them.

The way it sounds, this will be some intense metal music with prog thrown in, and I know these guys probably have great chops, so it'll be interesting to hear them play together. I love it when bands like this happen because when a fan knows one or two of the members, they're likely to pick it up and then go "Hmm, these guys are good! I wonder what else they're doing/they've done", and subsequently, open the door to the individual members' other bands/projects/albums! Transatlantic did that for me 8 years ago and I discovered SOOOO much music thru those four members.

-Marc.

Go get Affector asap.  One of my top albums of the year
If you like Frost*, check out Dec's solo albums as well as Darwin's Radio.  Dec has a couple songs out on SoundHound.
If you like prog-metal, then Threshold is something to check out. I'd put it in the vein of Evergrey, Circus Maximus (at least, compared to 1st Chapter and Isolate) etc ...  There's the Damian Wilson albums, and the Andrew "Mac" MacDermott albums.  IMO, can't go wrong with any of them.  I'm absolutely loving their latest release (I'd rank it higher than Harmagedon as far as 2012 releases go, and both higher than FC), which is more proggy than any of their previous 8 (9?) albums.
Darwkater I've heard bits and pieces of.  I think Nem is a huge fan.
I'm a big fan of Gildenlow's work, but only so-so on PoS.

TAC... seriously?  FC was a disappointment for you!?!? :facepalm:


I won't buy another album from them if they make one.  I found about 1/3 of the material to be somewhat decent, but overall I thought the album was pretty much a dud.    I'd give it 2 stars I guess.

While we are completely off topic, I will admit that Flying Colors has not aged well.  I can't remember the last time I wanted to listen to it.

Ok, back on topic... From Dec's FB feed:

Quote
So, some of you have been asking me, "Dec, what's going on with the music?"

Well.....the news is, Simon Andersson, Richard West, Andy Edwards & I are recording our debut album together.

The songs are written and recording has begun. Our album WILL be out this year, and we'll be uploading a free song in early June to give you a 'taste' of our sound.

Lots of plans, including a 5.1 mix, a DVD, a vinyl release, extras, a cuddly toy, and of course a website.

No band name as yet. But, if you have a cool band name idea, and we pick it, you get your name on the sleeve notes and some extra goodies, so PM me.

Thanks again you for your continued support!

FYI, Andy Edwards is Frost*'s drummer, and played with IQ for a while too.

Well, forgot to update this.  Brave New Sky is officially AudioPlastik as of sometime over the last few months and from their FB page a couple days ago:

Quote
hey everyone – an exciting day in the life of AudioPlastik – today, we presented the finished mix of our debut album, “In The Head of a Maniac” to our record label BEM!
Next up is the final mastering and the release of the first digital download single next month. Bring it!

Booyah.  It's only been two years, but who's counting? 

Me.
