Nice. Guaranteed buyer right here. I'll always miss Ark...

Hey Ken, will you guys be stocking "The Radio Waves Goodbye"? (John's my old drum teacher, I'm pretty excited he's finally getting a solo album out.)

Didn't even know about this release! Will it be NTSC?

I'm glad they're at least making more music. It really is a shame for them and everyone related, what an unpleasant thing to be associated with. I was looking forward to seeing The Gates of Slumber at Boston's Doom & Grind Fest (for which they were also scheduled), but TPOG's singer was booking...

I hate those damned foil stickers. But IHR is without a doubt one of the best labels out there, doom or otherwise. Shame about that whole Thee Plague of Gentlemen fiasco, as TPoG were actually a strong band who'd helped a fantastic label get some more recognition, even though I think they were...

Yes, and more recently, John toured with James Labrie of Dream Theater. But yes, Ark are no more, sadly. Huge bummer, I loved those guys.

Wow, no kidding? I didn't realize it was on such a massive scale on your side of the pond, hadn't even heard the book was released. As for the magazine coverage...I can only imagine :lol:

Oh, I definitely agree with you on that. If anything, reviews may very well fall into two main camps: the young and naive eager to embrace it, and the old and jaded who discount anything new. Naturally there'll be in-betweens, but it's definitely easy to see the see the same trends in dealing...

Unfortunately, I suspect they won't be the only person to reach this conclusion, given the lack of discerning listeners out there. Whether their assessment is credible, obviously, is another matter altogether... ;)

Someone I know was interning for Roadrunner when that whole fiasco transpired. We had a good laugh about it. That's why "The Grand Conjuration" (albeit in edited form) was the first song from Opeth's latest album to leak, it was ripped right from that broadcast, apparently.

That review's not too far off the mark. I rarely listen to the album, as it pretty much strikes me as a pile of leftovers (15 years late, to boot). Some interesting death metal touches on the closing track, "Supremist" (musically, not vocally...basically tremolo picking and those...
