New Suspyre

Harvester · March 23rd, 2012, 11:28 AM

Well, this one smacked me right in the mouth from the very first listen. It's going to take a lot of listens to truly absorb everything that is going on here. It's like they took their prog game to a new level not only in the technical chops/tempo changes area, but the variety of songwriting as well. The 12+ minute epic, "The Man Made of Stone," is a song of the year contender.

I have no doubt this will be a Top 10 contender for the year.

Awesome.

I can't wait to hear this. Each album has gotten stronger and stronger, and I was blown away when I saw them open for Shadow Gallery in PA. Phenomenal band!

AMBR · March 23rd, 2012, 12:42 PM

Gotta hear this!!

usaprogmusic · March 23rd, 2012, 01:54 PM

The album is incredible. I'd love to see them on the main PPUSA stage. Their live show has improved tremendously. And I am not saying this with bias since I am not their manager anymore. I am saying it as a true fan.

AngraRULES · March 23rd, 2012, 02:16 PM

For the fourth time...

BIG thumbs up. One of my favorite albums of 2012 so far.

Osiris' Eyes · March 23rd, 2012, 02:36 PM

Love these guys! Can't wait to hear the latest piece of art. The evolution of this band is very exciting.

Bamafan · March 23rd, 2012, 03:17 PM

Does anyone know if it will be released via iTunes?

Why can't you? It's on Spotify. I'm listening to it now less than a minute after first reading this thread. Gotta love Spotify!

nomisofsiman · March 25th, 2012, 07:11 PM

Loved their second one, but this one is really quite fantastic. I honestly haven't listened to a lot of albums this year, but so far this might very well take the cake.

zedowns · March 28th, 2012, 03:09 PM

"Still Bending the Violet" is such a fun song.

Man, 2012 is off to an awesome start with this, The Omega Experiment, Beyond the Bridge, and Southern Cross.

dtguitarfan · March 28th, 2012, 08:42 PM

Wow, I just listened to it on Spotify - AWESOME!!! It's a step above their previous works. So...why isn't it available for pre-order on Amazon? I see they have the MP3's listed, though you can't buy them yet, but I don't see the CD....

Get the CD at Impulse Music.

Unholy_Prince · March 30th, 2012, 12:31 PM

Amazing album!

GreggSuspyre · April 3rd, 2012, 10:16 AM

Thanks to everyone for all the kind words. I/we really appreciate that people are listening to our work!

I am just posting to let everyone know that the digital release date is today; "Suspyre" is already on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, and will arrive at other digital retailers like Rhapsody shortly.

The physical CD release date is April 10th. You can get your copy from Impulse Music's store.

Thanks again!

Oblivion Ocean · April 4th, 2012, 06:56 PM

Man I am really loving this cd. Honestly there were a couple times on the first couple where I just shook my head and said, what is going on here? Like the, what I have dubbed, the Doobie Brothers section at 2:50 of Fire Dancer and the song Cancun. They really caught me off guard the first couple of listens. Now I totally dig those elements of the album and totally get it.

This album seems more musically adventurous but at the same time more cohesive than previous albums.

I highly recommend it.

Via Metal Underground :

"New Jersey prog metal act Suspyre is set to officially release the band's new self-titled album tomorrow, April 10th. The entire album has now been made available for streaming online via Bandcamp or through the player available below. "

nailz · April 9th, 2012, 01:26 PM

Thank you for releasing it on Spotify. It's nice to see Aritsts embracing technology instead of shunning it.

AngraRULES · April 9th, 2012, 01:46 PM

Speaking of new Suspyre, I hope all of you guys will be catching them live in New York next month... hint hint. :P
