Protest the Hero delayed

2007-09-19 by Intransit | 26 Comments
Canadian metal upstarts Protest the Hero have announced that Fortress, the much anticipated follow-up to 2005's Kezia will be delayed until further notice.

Fortress was originally slated to be released on November 13th, 2007, but now appears to be delayed until 2008 at the earliest. The band stated:

Last week we boarded a plane to Heathrow to take a short vacation before the album dropped. However, Amazon warriors with a certain bloodlust commandeered the plane. They bound and gagged everyone and moved us to the cargo deck of the plane. It was but for the grace of God that Tim remembered some knowledge the Hardy boys dropped on him, and he managed to squirm free from his ropes. He then released the rest of us and we fashioned weapons from strange knick-knacks we found in the cargo bay. It was kind of like that scene in From Dusk Till Dawn except they were Amazon warriors not vampires.

There was no way for us to anticipate the tactical skills of the warriors. The initial attack lasted three hours in which our lighting guy Cam was fatally wounded, but, after the grueling three-hour battle, we reigned victorious at which point I took the reins and landed the plane in a big field of marshmallows. It was funny and delicious. Needless to say we're all mourning the loss of Cam... and everyone knows you can't release an album without a lighting guy, so we're all very sorry but the album will be delayed until we can find another lighting guy.

Three things:

Cocaine is not stoked

Protest the Hero? More like Protest the Humor

and glad to see they aren't taking themselves too seriously.

I am sort of expecting this to suck, regardless of how fun and awesome Kezia was.

Sigh. Though I really love the explanation, it makes me sad this won't be out any time soon.

I thought this would be the one album to compete with BTBAM's Colors for album of the year

I didn't like this very much from what I've heard from it. Even less than Kezia.

Rody thinks he's a lot funnier than he is in these press releases. I'd rather have a real reason, considering they finished recording in mid August.

There are far better albums coming out in the next few months to pass the time.
