Cool album cover, may have to get this. I only have The Odyssey, but it's a great album.

I have their V album which is pretty cool, i've heard bits od The Odyssey, the opening track was awsome.

Looking forward to the new stuff.

You should hear 'The Divine Wings of Tragedy' I'd say it's possibly one of the best albums ever!!!!!

Twilight in Olympus has my 3 favourite songs on it, and it has a 17-minute or so track based on Through The Looking Glass, awesome!!!!

Nice artwork

I'm better than their guitarist because he's obese.

I hate artwork like that. Regardless of the concept, it always looks better painted.

Yeah, thinks date really easily if they've got really obvious computer animation. That one Iron Maiden did was a bag of shit (Dance of Death?).

Unless PL have radically changed their style of late, this will be as big a bag of crap as everything else i've heard by them!! Quite possibly one of the most boring bands ever, along with my dying bride and anathema of course!!!

This is Symphony X's new album not the band Paradise Lost!

Yeah that Maiden cover is totally shit!!!!

Apparantly that was only the pre-production artwork of the original idea and Steve Harris was a dick and told the artist to leave it as it was!! :lol:

Seriously, no smiley can possibly convey my feelings!

I cannot wait for this to come out.... yeah, I'm not too keen on the artwork, but perhaps it fits the album better, since good ole MJR said it was 'darker.' But it's the music that counts, and I'm looking forward to seeing if they can beat their epic 'Odyssey' track (which incidentally isn't even my favourite track).

Threshold's new album is out soon too, what a prog-metal feast :dance:

I dont really like CGI covers...again still has this strange look to it, would should be a cool listen though

Though i actually like Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride and Anathema...even though they all have changed quite abit since their Death/Doom albums.
Though Doom and Thrash are quite the opposite of each other....

hhhmm a Thrash Doom band.....is there any? :lol:

Celtic Frost? They're the closest that come to my mind.
