So it seems like they're going to be shooting for a release date around early or mid 2011.

Oh no, I was hoping I wouldn't have to wait that long!!

yes
 

very very good band in my opinion. the only thing that bothers me after awhile is rody's incredibly high and whiny voice. but the fortress album came with all the instrumental tracks (besides bloodmeat oddly) so that problem is solved. cheers :chug:

I wasn't really a fan of his vocals at first, but they grew on me. I still find the vocals on A Calculated Use Of Sound annoying though.

Me neither, it just sounds like a bog standard post hardcore album which im not really into.

I think in a couple of interviews they said the release date will probably be around summer 2010, also on their myspace blog Tim said "we're going to be focusing on the new record in the new year and not be doing any shows until it's done". For now, the only show they have for 2010 is in May so...dunno, never get your hopes high too soon, the DVD was delayed from june or july to august, then to mid-september then to late september so you never know with them:) Also, Fortress was delayed at least once if I'm not wrong.

fools, "a calculated use of sound" is awesome.

i wouldnt say awesome, but definitely not bad

kinda excited for the new album. I liked Kezia better than Fortress so I hope it's better than fortress

you think an album they havent even finished writing is going to be out in the next 7 months?

uh no.

Kezia was delayed by about a year, Fortress a few months. I wouldn't get your hopes up.

Ok then maybe it will come out by the end of this year.. I didn't know where they are right now in the process. I know they started writing Fortress in January, 2007 and finished it in early August, and it was supposed to come out in November but was pushed back to January, 2008. When they're in writing mode they seem to be pretty efficient. But hey, maybe they'll start playing one or two new songs in May already, cause they kinda toured the **** out of Fortress and Kezia..and back in 2007 they played Bloodmeat live pretty early on..

gotta love Bloodmeat

I wouldn't be surprised if we saw some badly done Youtube videos bearing the name "Protest the Hero- New Song LIVE!" popping up by the end of this year.

They first played new songs off Fortress in March or May the year it was released, so it's entirely possible. It was Dissentience and one of the Goddess songs. I can't remember which. I was there, though. It was at some poopty free thing in Burlington.

It was May. It had to have been May.

erm wasn't it released like january or feb 2008?

jan 29th 2008. Fortress came out on my birthday.

[QUOTE=DBlitz;17747807]erm wasn't it released like january or feb 2008?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, and they first played songs from it the May before that.

oh I see what you mean. So if they were playing Fortress tracks about 8 months before the album officially dropped... so if they're looking at a 2011 release, I think it's safe to assume they'll be playing new tracks by late summer-autumn of this year.

faaaack I hope they move in the right direction with the new release.

I'll keep it general but they should hopefully be starting demoing soon.
