Wow! This is going to be one long month, but it'll be very worth it. Listening to the preview now, it sounds superb. Thank you for the update!

Where have you been?

You have Jonathan, Shawn, Matt, Jared and Val.

Child Of God · October 12th, 2011, 06:53 AM

OMG I didn't recognize Val, sorry xD

Frankgate · October 12th, 2011, 07:12 AM

sounds EXTREMELY promising

FleshAndBloodTheocracy · October 12th, 2011, 08:20 AM

Sick. I got my preorder in already, of course.

Virgil. · October 12th, 2011, 08:48 AM

This is such great news! Thanks for sharing!

@Matt - do you have any behind the scenes footage of the recording sessions you can grace us over on the Sneap forums with????

ChosenNightwolf · October 12th, 2011, 08:55 AM

The preorder bundle for the CD and the double gatefold vinyl album will be ordered for my collection at the end of this month.

Killerah · October 12th, 2011, 09:56 AM

Sick! This looks awesome guys, I can't wait. I'm stoked that it's coming out so soon too!

Virgil. · October 12th, 2011, 10:04 AM

Looking at the cover makes me want some kool-aid or jello. lol

Killerah · October 12th, 2011, 12:40 PM

Having listened to the teaser about 6 or 7 times I have to say that I'm now really really looking forward to this one. I'm impressed again with Matt's theological writing (Sounds like he's dropping some total depravity/original sin stuff in "Hide in the Fairytale").

Ryan M. · October 12th, 2011, 01:30 PM

We will have to wait to hear the CD itself to know if it meets up to the MoS standard (which is quite high). From what I can hear it's pretty darn good. There was one or 2 tracks I'm not quite sure about... but it's a sample after all, isn't it? Some extra cool sounding ones including the last one. SOUNDED SICK!!! I can't wait!

FleshAndBloodTheocracy · October 12th, 2011, 02:04 PM

Light of the World and the one around 1:50 (I think) sound like instant favorites for me.

At the first listen there were also 2 tracks that were disturbing me a little, but after a few more listens they sound extra cool ! It's like MoS, i hated that song the first time I heard it, and this is now my favorite song !
The new album from what I heard sounds trully epic... I'm addicted to the trailer !

Rawshik · October 12th, 2011, 03:36 PM

I see there's a new web shop on the website. I assume this means new merch as well?

Arkatox · October 12th, 2011, 04:12 PM

I literally danced today after I got home from school while I waited for my WAY TOO SLOW computer to boot up so I could see this! I just have to say: AWESOME, GUYS! Theocracy, Ulterium, everyone! Amazing job! I FREAKING CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

RichS · October 12th, 2011, 05:20 PM

Ordered, super excited about this.

prem · October 12th, 2011, 05:57 PM

what are the play times for the tracks? I'm hoping for at least one or two of moderately epic length.

Nebulous · October 12th, 2011, 07:17 PM
