I like how metal bands anymore aren't stuck on being ultrabrutal 24/7. Like BDM's new dvd just kinda shows they're just dudes like everyone else

Going through those videos now... awesome. I wish I had gone to Cutting Edge now too.

Less than a week till I finally see Protest again... shame it's at a giant, horrible venue (Arrow Hall).

yeah im not going **** that

havent seen them live in like two years lol

any news on the stuff they've been writing, coke?

Still don't know much but I'm told you can expect them to spread out a little more at times, sort of relax into more grooves for example. Not as balls out from rumblings I've heard.

Deep BTBAM dreamy guitar grooves?

I don't know if I know what you're referring too...but no, I don't imagine them being like BTBAM grooves. Heavier grooves.

Yeah BTBAM seems to do more chill stuff anymore

Like Mastodon grooves?

I guess, yeah. It's hard to say, really. It was mentioned to me when everyone was in a state of hilarious drunkenness. The point is basically that it won't be as balls-out this time, at least that's the impression I got.

killer. too bad we wont see this for like a bujillion years

Why do you say this? Fortress came out early 2008 and it seems like they're making some progress on a new one already.

Yeah, I'd take a stab and say it'll probably be out in the spring, barring any [I]Fortress[/I]-esque delays.

I'd guess summer actually.

any info on it? title or anything?

Tim said in a recent interview at Cutting Edge Music Festival that it will be released "hopefully summer or fall of next year". He also said it will be more than 10 songs this time :]

I wonder if it'll be similar to Kezia and Fortress with the 3-acts concept thing.

Last I heard there weren't any definitive themes, concepts or structures set out.

Well I'm looking forward to it. If Kezia was the album of demonstrating their potential, Fortress was their album of achieving it, and this upcoming album shows the band pushing forward but with some restraint and maturity, then it'll be absolutely awesome.

Based on Cocaine's comment that it won't be as 'balls-out' at least.

I hope this is the case.

5 days!
 

5 days til the dvd! =DDDDD

They played a new groovy bit as an intro to Blindfolds Aside last night. I'm not sure if it was part of a new song or if they were just jamming, whatever.

The show last night was alright. I can't stand Arrow Hall, but I liked the lineup. BTBAM played 3 songs in 35 minutes or so, one of which was a new song. They were awesome, but goddamn that is not enough time for them. It was great to see Protest again, but it felt like a festival. Not remotely the same as the shows they used to play here, but I think they had the best set of the night. In Flames was disappointing, but at least they played Square Nothing. Killswitch was actually pretty good, definitely more fun than In Flames. Didn't stay for their whole set, though.

Also... found this full set from a couple of weeks ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_iKUWtL_rM&feature=PlayList&p=21A62D8ED95E76B6&index=0&playnext=1

dang, that was what kept me listening to them. Otherwise both albums were not that great.

I didn't say there wouldn't be any, just that they hadn't mentioned anything yet.

Sucks, but the CD portion has already leaked apparently.

what is it called again?

Is that a serious question? Did you actually manage to skim over my post and yet miss the fact that the title is mentioned in the first sentence?

Sorry.

Listening to the audio now--Parts of No Stars... sound like they're playing through molasses.

EDIT: I received my copy from MerchNow, I'm going to see if it works.

EDIT2: The DVD seems to work.

I got the same e-mail as Cocaine. Gonna start looking for the leaked audio now.

Oh no, I just got the e-mail :( I have already listened to the leaked audio, I love it, I don't know what everybody's bitching about.. although I heard more bitching about the DVD editing.. which is.. well, there are reasons why the editing and the recording itself is amateurish, just read this interview: http://bringbacktheboombox.com/main/?p=825

Anyone notice the little lyrical switch-up in Limb From Limb? Heh.

New interview with Tim:

http://www.metalsucks.net/2009/09/16/protest-the-hero-guitarist-tim-millar-talks-beards-new-pth-album-in-metalsucks-interview/

anybody get the new album yet?

The new album they haven't started recording yet?

Yeah I've had it for months.

I thought Gallop Meets the Earth was supposed to come out this month.

That's a live album.

****. oops.

I finally listened to Gallop Meets The Earth. I am deeply satisfied.
