anonymous 9/18/2012 3:44:15 PM

fckKKKK YESSS!! hopefully it isn't dogshit like that blueprint album was. No Undeceived, No care

anonymous 9/18/2012 5:53:24 PM

The only good news in the past few weeks on here.

Very interesting to see the lineup, on wikipedia looks like Ole Borud is back, the mastermind who left after Synergy. Excited to see what comes of this.

anonymous 9/18/2012 10:07:09 PM

I hope it's more like 'Burial' and 'Undeceived,' less like 'Synergy' and 'The Blueprint Dives.'

anonymous 9/18/2012 11:14:35 PM

fck YES!

Shitty cookie cutter Norwegian metal. No thanks.

anonymous 9/19/2012 4:26:37 AM

Great news.

anonymous 9/19/2012 1:10:44 PM

He left because god told him too....that's what he said at least....

Burial and Undeceived are classic albums, hoping this new material is more along those lines.

anonymous 9/19/2012 8:50:34 PM

Synergy doesn't get the credit it deserves. One of the best and most technical albums ever.

anonymous 9/19/2012 9:19:07 PM

^ Synergy is fantastic. This band is perfection.

anonymous 9/19/2012 10:43:34 PM

this album took 5 years to make, because Michael Keene kept stealing their material as they wrote it.

Best news ever. Synergy is my favorite heavy album. Undeceived is in my top 10. Band doesn't get the credit they deserve. Blueprint, while different, was not bad by any means. Very excited to hear. They're self funding a dvd. Check it out: http://www.indiegogo.com/e xtolfilm

this is great news, I was just listening to their music this past week and was wondering if they would ever come back, has anyone heard Ole's solo stuff? http://www.facebook.com/ol eborudmusic
