The sites I checked to verify the actual day varied between the 3rd of Feb and the 28th of Feb, but they all confirmed 2006.

I would consider whenever it was released by the band where ever to be the official release date but thats just me.
Although I thought the cd was quite cheesy and no where near as good as underworld.

p.s. if you like prog metal andromeda are way betta
 
Ha, she says the logo looks like KALMAK, two ks!

Anyway, I've only heard bits and pieces on their myspace page.

I know ebay has the japanese import with the Carcass song.

roughly how much did you pay for the Black Waltz?

I want the import though.

Dang!
