SyndicCalls404 Posts: 23 From: USA	Permalink 17.03.2011 - 23:08 SyndicCalls404 Posts: 23 From: USA Note: Myrath says in interviews, and to me when I chat with them over Facebook, that the third album will indeed have more Oriental stuff - and also that the songs will be a bit shorter, catchier and some different vocal styles will be employed. For fans of Elyes' vocals on the first album, this will interest you Loading...
