Wasn't a fan of the last record, but still hopeful for this one.

I hope soon hear new muisc but I have bad hopes here

I'm sure it'll have a few good moments like they all do. I'm not really a fan of them in the end, not of any era.

It's interesting to note radio silence when it comes to promoting this album, while for the last two, they were all over the place with videos from the different production stages.

But I guess a few years ago, that became more or less a marketing standard for all larger bands.

Kai Kahto Says 'It Looks Like' The Band Won't Play Any Shows 'In Next Two Or Three Years'

wanna know why

I believe Floor was pregnant recently so I guess this might be at least part of the reason for no shows in upcoming year(s).

Without Marco my hope for this album is very low, Marco's input was significant in the composing stage and without it, I am affraid this will be much less metal oriented than ever before.
