There are now nine songs on the record and one acoustic piece. And we can say already this is hands down the best Darkest Hour record ever. We can't wait to present these songs to you guys. Kris and Mike make their guitar solo debut, there is definitely more for the shredders this time. Expect shorter more thrash' compact songs, as well as some surprises. We have been keeping the album title under warps but we will announce it soon. Lastly, the Darkest Hour summer vacation is coming together so we will announce big plans for the summer as well as the release date for the new Darkest Hour record soon. This week JH starts tracking the vocals and it all starts to make sense!"

Isildurs Bane - First DVD Of The Band
Interesting news from the website of the Swedish progressive act:
"After releasing four highly acclaimed CD's within their MIND concept, Sweden's longest serving progressive rock band deliver their first DVD, MIND Vol. 5: The Observatory.
Filled to the brims with a concert, documentary footage, animations and four new, previously unreleased songs, this DVD is a must for all discerning music fans.
The concert was filmed in September 2004 with twelve cameras. It presents Isildurs Bane in front of an enthusiastic crowd with perhaps the bands strongest and most versatile line-up so far, featuring a twin-guitar team, cello, and three vocalists in addition to the regular team.
The documentary footage features unique clips from the band's past and present. From the late 80's until January 2005, from Sweden via Europe to North America, from Adolf Wölfli's cell at the mental hospital in Waldau to NEARfest, from a hot and sweaty stage in Budapest to a chilly beach in Halmstad. It's all here.
MIND Vol. 5: The Observatory includes four brand new songs recorded exclusively for this DVD, expertly produced by Mats "MP" Persson.
Isildurs Bane's first DVD includes many songs from the lauded MIND Vol. 4: Pass and the frantic pièce-de-resistance "The Voyage" from the album of the same name.
MIND Vol. 5: The Observatory was produced by Fredrik Timour for Ataraxia Productions".
