Feels like there is little PR or interviewing happening vs. the last 4 albums.My guess is more will come out closer to release.They started the hype cycle too far in advance. No one's going to get on a three month hype train too much else going on. Should have been two months max.10 weeks is the standard industry promo cycle.It depends on the label. Nuclear Blast does not release promos until a week before release. Frontiers Music about 3 weeks. I had Haken “Virus” 3 months ahead of the release date and LTE3 almost 2 months early. It varies for sure.Aren’t Beast In Black on Nuclear Blast? The first single for their new album came out on 3rd September and the album does not come out until 29th October.

It sounds like, "ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk." Instead of the more pleasing kick drum sound of, "gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk."
I'm just curious to know if there's an instrumental track or not.

I think I'll be happier if there is not unless the band has something new to say, which they haven't before. I find that I am plenty satisfied by the average DT song's instrumental passages.
Quote from: Kotowboy on September 14, 2021, 04:41:22 PMCan you even give us a hint as to which album it most resembles ?I can say with confidence that the album stands alone but scopes their entire career musically.

Def don’t need an instrumental on an album with only 7 tracks (yes I know ToT) and I’ll bet the title track has an instrumental section longer than most band’s instrumental songs.Really don’t want another single because I won’t be able to resist. That would only leave 5 “new” songs.

DT is the last band in the world who needs to include instrumental tracks on their albums.
But Kotow is right .

In all seriousness, I don't want to do that because, although there are definitely things in the DT-family that it reminds me of, I don't want to color people's perceptions and feed potentially false preconceived notions.

DT is the last band in the world who needs to include instrumental tracks on their albums.Particularly when Petrucci has not long released his solo instrumental record and then the LTE instrumental double album.

With the giant opener and the epic at the end, three songs living in the 10 minute range and only 7 tracks.

I mean obviously the new album has 7 tracks.Some people need to learn to read ----When Black Clouds was announced - I was deflated a bit at reading that it only had 6 tracks. I knew I'd get tired of it very quickly.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now?
Promotion cycle!!!Wow, that was a quick 9 minutes.For those in the know...who is the interviewer? Didn't they use him in another set of videos.

Didn't they use him in another set of videos.Roie Alvin (probably spelling that wrong). He’s the creator of The Prog Report. He is also Petrucci’s PR guy. He may be the PR person for the band as well.
I want so badly to see this interview,but i don't want to hear new music till the release.Are there snippets of the album in there?
I really didn't get anything out of that interview..
