It's sad that Norther won't probably do any Dreams of Endless War type of songs, probably because many people said it sounded too much like CoB. A music reporter actually said that DoEW would actually be a 5 star debut, but he gave only 2 stars since he didn't find it so original. F*cking finnish and our way of comparing everything to everything.

IMO, i love everything from Norther. But i have a little weakness for Mirror Of Madness. Dreams of Endless War was great, thats true, but yeah, the following albums sounded more "new".

And ahem, how can i talk about Norther without mentioning Petri Lindroos, their very... ahem.... good-looking frontman ?.... *sigh* ... He's even better in Norther than in Ensiferum...

DOEW is a 5 star album it's perfection, and the reason why they will never do any songs like this again is the same reason Norther, Bodom and Kalmah all won't. Times have changed and like it or not this is what they play now and they won't go backwards but only move further away from the earlier sounds.

Wich sucks, because CoB's Something Wild untill Follow The Reaper period was amazing, and Mirror Of Madness - Death Unlimited are masterworks. The new Norther album sucks imo, and CoB's could be worse, but still, i'd like it better if they would just recycle their old, good material rather then creating new bad material.

*edit: some weird mistake with the quote thingies

Have you seen the EP cover of No Way Back yet?

Pretty boring IMO, but I'm sure that the songs will rock!

That's a better cover than the Till Death Unites Us one, and it's WAAAAAAAAY better than the god-awful Solution 7 (or whatever it's called) cover. Good to see them returning to their blue 'n' grey roots .

I disagree, the Till Death Unites Us cover is amazing, dark and at the same time beautiful.

oeh, me likes IMO their worst cover would obviously be Death Unlimited

Haha, yeah Death Unlimited is hard to beat.

hey new cover is cool!!
can't wait for the EP to come out \m/

Wow, I didn't even know they had a new EP coming out. Very interesting cover, looks kind of like a necro outhouse in my opinion, bad ass though.

Wow, what an awful cover.

I agree, I don't like it at all!

Oh, I think it's a good enough cover, and it suits the album - but as a Norther cover I don't think it quite works. Too red .

RE: the new promo pics - Pete looks really cool in the outside pic where he's facing the camera. Aside from that... it's a pretty lame photoshoot. The drummer looks like a skaterpunk in the photos with the blue background.

Why I get on this topic anyway??? I hate this band, well good bye, have fun...

Haha, they definitely need to relive the days of "Dreams of Endless War."

I still believe that Mirror Of Madness is their best album, very closely follow by Death Unlimited, but the new material might just kick MOM and DU's asses

i think the new song, "Frozen Angel" sounds a tad Americanized, how very very sad

i dont like them so much.... i just loved their dreams of endless war...Kristian Ranta
he is looking like my girlfriend sometimes..... i really feel really weird about this sometimes......eewwww
you guys need to listen chasm (remix) in solution 7 album its freaky lol....
their best song is released i guess.....
WHEN I CUT MYSELF AND LAUGH AT YOU ALL............
They are really good in Live Performance......

But Kalmah Is The Best
no chance.....;D

I really don't see what's so good about Dreams Of Endless Wars when you compare it to Mirror Of Madness and Death Unlimited The songs on those albums are way catchier than the songs on Dreams...

for me the reason is the melody. they later became more technical i guess. but before the way the songs were written was better IMO

i still like all of Norther stuff!!

To be quite honest...I really didn't like anything after "Dreams of Endless War"..:l

Huh? I thought you liked that album. Maybe I'm totally wrong, but didn't you said long ago (in the old forum) that the album was worth a 10?

I really liked it at first, but the more you listen to it, the older it gets. Particularly the lyrics.

I kinda now what you mean. The album is not nearly as amazing as I considered it to be when I first heard it. I still like it very much though.

@Hellraizer - Bodom ain't got nothing on Norther put it that way eh

And I can't believe that ass Wildchild hurt himself again, how many times is this now...? I have seriously lost count now he must be the most uncoordinated drunk ever.

I did hear some a good song from Norther, it was pretty fast but I forgot the names. Basically, I just need that from Norther that I would be looking for, whats their good stuff?

Can't wait for new EP... should be good. MoM is definitely my fave norther album - but this track No Way Back sounds like it could be one my favourites and i've only heard a little sample. Needless to say Norther is probably my favourite band.

Still the wind blows, and the rain falls on me
And i know, there's no way, no way BACKKKKKK

ahhh that bit sounds so awesome. Hellraizer get Mirror of Madness - perfect album.

^ Hey James

...okay so No Way Back has leaked on the net, and it sounds good

i'm gonna listen to it more and give my opinion, but i'm definitely buying this when it comes out!!

yeah this EP grows after a couple of listens just like the Frozen Angel clip,,, i specially like C.U.S and Reach out!

...BUT here is an interesting fact, listen to Destruction - Deposition (Your Heads Will Roll) from Thrash Anthems and compare it with the opening riff of "Reach Out" they are almost the identical basically!!

weird because both are new songs that came out this year o_O


EDIT: yeah i know it is out it finland, but i wan tot buy it when it comes out officially in Europe, this way it is more obvious for the stupid record label to realise these guys have lotsa fans OUTSIDE finland!! though i'm not sure if this actually is valid...

hmmm havent heard anything on the EP cept i saw the clip for Frozen Angel and i wasnt impressed its a little too "pop" for my liking and they're making WAAAY too much use of Ranta's vocals. He can sing and all but its getting a bit much...

I will comment again when i hear the entire EP.
