Well it is supposed to wrap up the first ten years of Excalion.
They also had some bad feedback about their previous videos for Waterlines (which were made with no budget at all) and they decided that if they will make a video it has to be really good and a pro video so I believe it will be something special.
Since it is also done afterwards it is not for promotion but just a special extra.

And yes Enter a Life is one heck of a catchy song :mrgreen:
I just love the crazy drum stuff in the intro and the vocals. The solos are also amazing.
Yet I have to say that even in all it's greatness it is maybe the weakest song on the album.

I don't think they will.
Since it's release Waterlines hasn't dropped it's price and recently the availability has gone down in many stores.
I suggest you buy them as you still can. You can see what happened to Primal Exhale which is a really nice album too BTW. Really different but Obsession to Prosper is simply genius in all of it's progressiveness and Dire Waters is also very mature and amazing song.

E: if you are unsure about buying these albums just to get a taste of what they hold can be heard in youtube and their myspace player.

Just came back from the rehearsals. After a couple of quiet weeks we went back to the rehearsal space to work on the new songs. Have to say that it has been a blast. It seems that sometimes Jappe has astonishing flow with songwriting and killer songs just pop out after each other. Well, these are those times again. Just have to keep up with the pace and rehearse the songs that he doesn't have to store all ideas just in his head.
Today we worked on a few different songs. Few words about those:

First one of these is a bit slower but heavy song in the style of Losing Time from Waterlines. Has great melodies in it and is one of those songs that work even if played with just drum, bass and keyboard combination.

The second kinda rockish mid tempo song with a GREAT sing-along vibe. Only played once in the rehearsals right now but no doubt will be one of the most noticeable upcoming new songs.

Last one of the songs is really fast and heavy song with some killer guitar-keyboard patterns, lots of double bass drumming rhytms and some slight proggish influences. Hell of a lot of fun to rehearse this one.

We'll be sharing some news from the rehearsals in the upcoming weeks as well.

Btw. The video editing is progressing slowly but surely. The material looks absolutely great but it will take a bit of time still to get the video finished as we're combining some materials from the Excalion-journey and there's quite a big bunch of stuff that we have to go through. But the outcome should be really worth the wait!

Cheers!


:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

As I said, all in good time :mrgreen:

I'll give you my opinion so far: there's not much about it that makes in original in my opinion. This isn't a must, since the compositions are quite neat and the melodies catchy. So I will make a difference between originality and good compositions. I haven't heard the album that much (2 times if I recall correctly), but it was a pleasant trip. My favourite track so far is Sun Stones.
