i figured this band would've required its own thread soon enough, so...

I hope Andre who filled in for SoA is on bass, and curious about the drummer as well!

Andreoli

I hope WGD is better than SOA. It will be?

The singer's much better.  And that clip of Bumblefoot playing sounded like it came straight from a DT song

I'm very interested in this. Sure, SOA wasn't entirely my thing, but I always said I liked the Derek/Bumblefoot/Mike combination and that Jeff and Billy were the weak links here. Now this is basically SOA 2.0 without those two guys and Mike.
It sounds like, "ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk." Instead of the more pleasing kick drum sound of, "gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk."

I'm looking forward to this. I'm a big fan of Derek's solo work and Bumblefoot is just a great guitar player.

SOA wasn't bad imo but lacked that special something. Maybe this band has it.
Must've been Kwyji sending all the wrong songs.   ;D

Is that some old unused Magna Carta album artwork?   :facepalm:
As a basic rule, if you hate it, you must solely blame Portnoy. If it's good, then you must downplay MP's contribution to the band as not being important anyway, or claim he's just lying. It's the DTF way.

The first thing I thought of was the quote "For whom the Gods destroy they first make mad" which the incredible prog band Symphony X quotes in not one but TWO songs.

It may be beyond hope to imagine this band will be as good as Symphony X, but I will hope anyway.

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Amazing choice for Bruno! Very glad that Derek and Ron are choosing new talents for their band.

I know nothing about Yas, but other than that, this is a killer lineup :metal :metal :metal
Hopefully the end result is better than what SOA did, though. Waiting for a single release soon.

I hope that they put more diversity in this album than SoA.  :tup
Did you already hear the album, Ministro?

Well, Derek aswered me "Yes" to my question about more diversity. :tup

Whom Gods Destroy Sign to InsideOutMusic; Announce debut album 'Insanium'!
https://lotsofmuzik.com/whom-gods-destroy-sign-to-insideoutmusic-announce-debut-album-insanium/

Interesting that they started writing the music in 2020. That compliments what Ron said during the interview posted not long ago when he was asked about the future of SOA; some members wanted to start writing and keep going (Ron and Derek at least) and some had no interest/desire to do so (most likely MP and Billy). And Soto is still working with Bumblefoot on Art of Anarchy, which he joined also in 2020. I find it interesting that even though all of this was taking place, they still toured as SOA last year for a few dates they already had scheduled, even though they never finished the European tour that got cancelled because of the lockdowns.

I'm excited about hearing the single, though I expected it to come later this month, not next year. I'm also happy with devieria's comment about more musical diversity in the album, that's definitely what SOA needed.

As last thought, I'm really pleased with this lineup. With SOA they went the supergroup route with many big names on paper but the results weren't that great. Here, they decided to get fresh new talent and that's already off to a better start than the last time :tup

I'm stoked about this one. Dino is an amazing vocalist. Check out his newest album Jelusick "Follow the Blind Man"...amazing set of pipes!

If the music is closer to Planet X, I will be interested.

If it's closer to Sons of Apollo, I will not be interested.

Totally those things. I really like SoA, but I think they should have covered more musical ground, like in Derek's solo work. And bring on some new blood for more musical freshness..

Derek doesn't like prog  :rollin

The best information he gave is that he loves The Chronic by Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Tupac, and the West Coast 90's Gangsta Rap. That to me is awesome, and shows how musicians do enjoy lots of styles of music that their fans talk shit about. I could just imagine him and Portnoy having conversations about 90's Gangsta Rap. Shit, Take The Time even has a sample from Public Enemy. Which I do find interesting as Rap does sample music from other musicians, so Portnoy sampling in the intro in a Prog song is pretty damn cool.

I don't know how they can be so proud of winning with them odds. - Little Big Man
