Given how they talk details about "The Good Doctor", this could be their first single. Sounds like it could be related to Visions.

Anyway, hyped to hear more from Haken.

I'm 95% certain The Good Doctor will be the first single.

I'm down. I enjoy The Mountain and Affinity, still not crazy about Ross's voice but that's some cool artwork. Another exciting 2018 release :)
From a Mega Man Legends island jamming power metal to a Walrus listening to black metal, I like your story arc.

I'm 300% certain that first single can't hit my ears soon enough.

Cool artwork, looking forward to hearing a track. Hopefully this record sits a little better with me than Affinity (which was kinda hit or miss).
It's going to be very different.

Yeah, I just read that write up Destiny of Chaos posted, it sounds like it definitely will be. I like the idea of going a heavier direction and I really like that they got Nolly to engineer and mix. Like I said, I'm looking forward to hearing the first track.

Heavier is good with me too.  Not that I felt they weren't heavy enough, but I've got no issues with good heavy riffage as they are suggesting.

A couple things we can pick out already. It was hinted in the article that Good Doctor is technically the first actual song, which means Clear is just an intro.

And from the contest, I deduce that the entire album will fit on 3 sides of a double album, meaning it might be a bit shorter....probably just under 60 min.

Although I would point out that 60 mins is the length of Affinity, so that wouldn't exactly make it "shorter".

To be fair, I did say “just under”...I’m betting somewhere around 55ish min.

EDIT - Affinity was 61 1/2.

Exactly what I was thinking! It could be a short intro like affinity.exe or something like an overture, like Premonition. Anyway, I just can’t wait for The Good Doctor to be released soon :metal
It sounds like, "ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk." Instead of the more pleasing kick drum sound of, "gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk."

Just to caveat that I might be completely wrong about that. My assumption is just based on the fact that they explain it in the press release, plus all the little teases they've been posting on Facebook ("the prescription you've been waiting for", etc).

Agreed - I'm pretty hyped for this and the new Riverside, and on top of those, the possible release of the new Neal Morse Band album in the late fall as well will make for an exciting fall music slate!

Right?  :lol

The band have been pretty transparent about regular updates regarding their next album, I think, and it was more or less revealed on here that their next album would come out this fall, so this was very expected. Revealing the release date TODAY might have been "out of nowhere", but the eventual release and target time-span were fairly well-known.

Just shows how much I was paying attention. To me, it was all talk about the new live album, and then, "oh yeah, there will be a new studio album in a few months."

Dang, another release to follow. Five of my favorites releasing albums this year. I don't really listen to that much metal, so this is quite extraordinary. Orphaned Land, Michael Romeo, this, Seventh Wonder and Myrath. Then DT next year. Hopefully I'll be able to listen to all of this, I should have become a dad before the DT album drops next year.

I expect so. AFAIK recording was done months ago, not sure why it's not out yet. They just recorded a live show for DVD/blu-ray release, maybe they want to release that simultaneously.

Their fifth studio record sees the band going in a heavier direction with the music.

Quote
Guitarist Charlie Griffiths explains
"We’ve always had a heavy influence, but it was obvious from the riffs that were naturally coming out of us early in the writing process that this would be a more metal album. These are some of the most riff driven songs we’ve ever written."
