That's the Special Edition. Maybe it's the same cover.

Yeah, that was a shame. I asked Dungeon on myspace about getting a shirt for my brother (I've turned him into quite the Dungeon fan) last night, but they sold them all at the last gig.

A Personal Journey is great. My next thing to track down is original copy of Resurrection. I'd love to hear how it originally sounded.

Apocalyptic Raids 02-20-2006 02:30 AM

Yeah that would be interesting.

Good luck with finding one though :-\

Also, did you see my edit?

Riva 02-20-2006 02:33 AM

The one on Amazon.co.uk is the same as Amazon.com, so I imagine the European cover art is the same.

dUSK 02-20-2006 02:33 AM

I just saw the edit then.

:eek: Tim made that album cover himself, how dare you! :p The special edition is superior though, which is probably why it was used for the special edition.

I know it's going to be hard to find. I'm going to try and keep an eye out for it on eBay, but even then I'll have no way of paying for it online. :upset:

JausmetalJ 02-20-2006 02:48 AM

I could do it, if you paid my dad :D
Just a thought.

APJ is awesome.

Have you heard tracks off it at all yet?

Apocalyptic Raids 02-20-2006 02:56 AM

heh, I have the same shirt :P

Yeah I heard the ones on the new Lord myspace page.

[url]http://www.myspace.com/lordaus[/url] (I think that's the url)

Dungeon fanboys have overrun the thread :-D

dUSK 02-20-2006 03:01 AM

I take it that's James's default picture, and if so, I have the same shirt as well. :amaze:

Alright. You should add me to msn again so we can discuss it further (if I ever find it, of course). I have a new email, gregbyers @ gmail.com

[QUOTE]I wear that shirt so often awell.[/QUOTE]

Me too.

Side story: A week or two ago I was standing on a sidewalk at some traffic lights waiting to cross the street, whislt wearing my Dungeon shirt. Anyway, as the light turns green a bunch of traffic starts moving, and there was a guy on a Harley at the front. Next thing I know he is riding of, screaming "DUNGEON!!" and with one hand raising the metal horns in the air. The guy had the massive long metal hair, and was wearing the crazy leathers and all that as well. It made my day. \m/

Apocalyptic Raids 02-20-2006 03:21 AM

It can be called that during the times when we are likely to be on :-D

Thats pretty ****ing awesome.

I was wearing it to a party the other night.

Ok, back up a bit. at about 6:30pm, I left my dads in FTG (suburb) and was heading to the train station, and as I was crossing the road, I see a dude with a CoF tee on. I don't think much of it, but I get to the party, and about 3 hours later, the Dude rocks up and comments on my shirt.

It was awesome, someone knew Dungeon.

Lord Tim 02-20-2006 07:04 AM

And now I wield my mighty sword of much replying! *swish!*

[QUOTE=G_Mac07]The only downfall that I can think of is that the part in Insanity's Fall where the crowd does the "Ooooh~ Oh Oh Oooh" part isn't really loud enough. [/QUOTE]

I agree! I mixed and produced the audio from that CD and you should have heard the audio tapes we got from Club Citta for that. Dreadful.

There was already tech problems all over the place with mics cutting out, etc. so we did have to fix one or two things up in the studio later to make it workable, but the worst thing was the audio that came out of the main speakers was mixed so badly, and it was so loud, that we had to turn it way down or it would have overpowered the main mix on the CD.

So that's why. :)

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]The only cover art I could find on amazon was the special edition, which also has cool cover art. [url=http://www.moderninvasionmusic.com/Assets/ArtistList/dungeonRes.jpg]My standard re-release cover art[/url] is kinda average in comparison (no offence to Tim)[/QUOTE]

When were were doing the album, we basically were told we had no budget whatsoever so I had to pull something out of my *** at the last minute. The artist we were working with really let us down so the only thing left to do was to come up with something quickly myself.

I thought it came up OK considering the time I had and what I had to work with. Believe it or not, the lava monster that's climbing out of the hole in the ground was my girlfriend kneeling on her bed and taken with a crappy digital camera. And all of the guys standing around the pit were of a member of the LORD forums! :p I tried to keep a strong link to the original cover as much as I could too, which added to the cheese of it, but had a better feel of legacy.

Having said all of that, I much prefer the LMP release cover (which they decided they had money for, after I went to so much ****ing trouble - thanx, spatulas!) that was done by ProgArt Media. The only thing that does annoy me about it is that as cool as the art is, it really has no relation to the concept of the album at all.

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]
It's a shame how he mentions they were about to set up an online merch store before the breakup :( Hopefully there will be one for Lord.[/QUOTE]

Indeed there will be! I'll be getting out webmaster to work on that soon. :)

That is good. Nothing is worse than re-release which completely disregards the original. Re-recordings more so.

Sweet!

NP: Holy Diver is playing on intensity \m/

also Tim, unrelated question, but what size guitar picks do you use? I've tried about a thousand lately and none are doing it for me :(

Lord Tim 02-20-2006 07:21 AM

I use Jim Dunlop nylon .73mm.

I actually bend them too, which I don't really understand but they feel better to me.

Each to their own. :)

Apocalyptic Raids 02-20-2006 07:32 AM

Indeed. I use the .77 triangle shaped ones. They go pretty good.

I tried the stubbys but the always slip. :-\

Lord Abortion 02-20-2006 08:06 AM

As far as the live album goes, I love the live versions of Traumatised and the absolutely Godly I am Death.

Have you ever heard In Flames' [i]Live At Club Citta?[/i] Terrible production also.

Lord Tim 02-20-2006 11:00 PM

Oh really?

Hmm...

Yeah, we had really little control about what we were getting and I can't say we were impressed when we finally heard it. :(

Took a LOT of work to clean up!

Riva 02-20-2006 11:07 PM

Tim, I just read that interview you did with Pyromusic. Great pants! :p

Mate I recommed Dava picks. Very good, not cheap 1 buck a pick and they wear down fairly quick. But they are specaily mouled and all this bull and rubbish but ends up to be a great pick. I find a hard pick with ability to bend in the middle is what you want. Or something kinda soft. I find hard picks too hard to alt pick, gallop and sweep etc.

Lord Abortion 02-21-2006 11:06 AM

I saw quite a few Edguy albums in HMV today, including a live one.
They must have got some in sharp after the rapturous performance in Newcastle last month.
They just had Rocket ride and Hellfire club in when we were looking the last time, incidentally, just before the show.
I also saw the new Rhapsody live album, also looking awesome.

Stormrider 02-24-2006 02:20 PM

Hmm. I love Edguy's The Piper Never Dies. I now know which album I'll be getting first.

NP Edguy - All the Clowns

Cardboard Headgear 02-24-2006 03:46 PM

Dunno if you guys already talked about this or not, but there's some short clips from Blind Guardian's new ep out. Also, you guys always seem to be talking about Dungeon, I've never heard em but apparently they played a free semi acoustic show at the local Amoeba a little while ago. Shame I didn't know about it or I woulda gone.

Stormrider 02-24-2006 05:20 PM

Yeah, Someone in the BG thread posted a link to the samplers.

Hmm, wasn't it coming out today ?

Stoic 02-24-2006 05:37 PM

Yes and I didnt have the chance to go down town and get it. I'm waiting in the queue on soulseek at the moment.

Stormrider 02-24-2006 05:40 PM

Meh, I'm gunna wait until the whole album comes out. I'm short on money right now and theres other cd's I want to buy...

NP Nevermore - Dreaming Neon Black

Stoic 02-24-2006 05:51 PM

nice song/album you're listening to \m/

The single here costs about 7.50 euros which is quite expensive considering that in one big chain store the albums cost 6.40 euros each...:confused:

Heh, its only the song. I've been listeing to them a lot recently. Love 'em \m/

I don't think I'll even see the EP in stores. I might go buy an album next week. Probablt Somewhere Far Beyond. Big chance its that but theres still other possibilities.

Lord Abortion 02-25-2006 11:59 AM

New EP?

:(

I'm on a huge Gamma Ray kick at the moment.

Stormrider 02-25-2006 12:01 PM

Yeah, new album is only in April..I think.

Stoic 02-25-2006 12:03 PM

Due to some certain delays it's going to be out in summer I think...

Ollie stop whining! At least they're coming to England! :p

it would be easier for me to go to Greece!

how come is not easy enough for you to go to London? Do you live that far away from there? :(

Lord Abortion 02-25-2006 12:24 PM

Yeah, the other end of the country.

Cardboard Headgear 02-25-2006 03:55 PM

[QUOTE=Lord Abortion]Yeah, the other end of the country.[/QUOTE]
Well think of it this way: I live across an ocean and on the far side of the continent from where they're playing. :wave:

Lord Abortion 02-25-2006 03:58 PM

Okay, Gamma Ray Fans...where do I go next after [I]Powerplant[/I]?

Stoic 02-25-2006 04:13 PM

Land of the Free! ;)

Stoic 02-25-2006 06:15 PM

So, I finally listened to Blind Guardian's brand new songs.

Skalds and Shadows is a nice and catchy balland, yet quite predictable and typical BG. It could have been one of these NIME preludes (sp?).

Fly indeed sounds like nothing they have done before. I would describe it like a mix of a less dark and more radio friendly IFTOS and of a non multi layered ANATO. I'm not disappointed but I dont want to slit by wrists from the excitement either. Time will tell, the point is that they're back.

Cover song, I dont care :-p

Stormrider 02-25-2006 07:23 PM

From the samplers, Skalds and Shadows sounded a lot like the song Nightfall. Not thats its a bad thing..
