Sto se tice teme, ideje i teksta, meni su omiljeni albumi "Be" i "Scarsick" a sto se tice muzickog kvaliteta omiljeni su mi "Remedy line" i "The Perfect Element" a ni "Entropia" ni "OHbtCL" mi nisu tako loshi, ma sve sto su napravili je odlicno. Meleholicna i kvalitetna muzika. :muzicar:

Ziv nisam sta ce da bude. :)

Ja se iskreno nadam da nece izdati nesto slicno scarsicku (meni je to ok album, ali ako se nastavi jos jedan sa istim zvukom, postace smor), makar bilo i totalno drugacije od svega sto su radili.

Hey all…

 

I know that you have all waited to hear about the new album we are working on, longing for more news, inside info, revealing diaries. You have also become a bit worried with this whole thing about shaky record labels and distribution companies. Understandable. Thus, I am (if only for a brief moment) back from the dead to still your hunger a bit.

 

Alright, where do I start…? Let’s start with your hunger for news, ok? You are all just spoiled little IT brats, the whole lot of you! Really, there was a time when you could only read about your favorite band’s whereabouts and agendas once or twice a year, in the biggest music magazine, whenever the band’s PR people would push the editors right before a new album release and say “ok, our label will buy an expensive full page add in your magazine, and you give our band a nice spread in color, deal?”…

What? Cynical? Me? Never!

 

Anyway, I don’t say I wish to go back to that time (well, maybe occasionally, just for the magical taste of stale beer and lipstick from a nervous kiss in a dark tent near a sleeping lake, and the distant sound of dying batteries in a cassette player, slowly lowering the key of “Going Blind” as the camp fire settles to cinder… eh… sorry, I’ll get right back on track), but we do inhabit an over-communicative world today, where you are somehow expected to let everyone know as soon as you’re changing pants or brushing your teeth. People use the phrase “coming album” as a bad movie trailer, or one of those panicky needy “after the break” clips that Discovery throws in to try to nail you to the sofa for yet another 12 minutes of Orange County Choppers.

 

That said, what’s up with the album? Well, it was more or less done. A double album, title and concept all worked out. We were just going to start working on final mixing, mastering and artwork when SPV filed for bankruptcy. So, our last weeks that were meant to be spent on finishing the album went into pulling every lever to make the US tour work out. When that finally went down the drain we had missed the window. I am now focusing my energies on family, with a new baby on its way (expected July 2nd; so young and already pushing deadlines). Right now, the album can’t be finished until we know what’s happening with SPV and InsideOut, and all touring is on hold until we have a set release date. Waiting. Me, the baby, the band, the album, the engineers, InsideOut, SPV, fans… We are all just waiting.

 

It’s ironic bordering on funny, how there’s continuously something or someone holding us back. With all band members finally in sync and hungry to shift into highest gear and push every frontier ahead of us, with the most active year ever scheduled, with an album release date set and four good tours planned… we find ourselves in neutral gear, waiting. Trying to keep the energies up and the engines running.

 

On the good side - we have the strongest material that we’ve ever made on tape, and the graphical concept will be just stunning. It’s as if, for the first time, everything just locked in position and grooved. And I get to spend time with my newborn baby instead of being away for six weeks. Maybe getting some new perspective on the album and material. I just hope that I can get myself to start working on the album again in August when, undoubtedly, I will have so many new songs and album ideas crying for my attention. See, I am a hungry guy when it comes to creating and exploring, and one part of me already feels that I am done with this album now, time to move on. I mean, personally I have listened to it a million times already. It’s just that little detail of actually getting it wrapped up and sent to the stores…

To you.

 

Waiting…

Dave Mustaine retorika?

 

Sad me je strah za novi album.

znas onog lika, svi ga znamo, sto se previse trudi da ispadne pametan, duhovit, simpatican, opasan, itd.

 

Daniel je taj lik u svetu metala :)

pa kao kuka da su fanovi/ljudi danas razmazeni IT debili i zali za nekim ranijim vremenima koja nisu bila hyper i onda potrosi 3 pasusa o kenjanju o privatnom zivotu i cekanju koje nikog ne zanima.

 

 

 

edit: haha, ulete mi azal u post, ali sustina je maltene ista

Meni se čini, ustavri ne, siguran sam da je Daniel vanserijski pametan, mnogo pametniji od većini ljudi na sceni ... pa neće se retardirati da bi izgledao kao "normalan". A što se tiče njegove konstatacije o današnjici, istina je da smo svi ovisnici o informacijama i da je svet mnogo drugačiji nego pre samo 20 godina. I meni ovo ne liči na kukanje nego na romantičan i nostalgičan pogleda na ne tako davnu prošlost.

 

Ipak, sve je stvar kako želiš da posmatraš stvari i u kom kontekstu ... ako želiš da misliš da je Daniel nafuran lik, onda imaš priliku da budeš ubeđen u to. A možeš i da se diviš velikom čoveku čiji smo suvremenici.

 

Dakle, stvar je kako želiš da bude

Haha, sad videh ovo:

 

Now for some happy news.

 

Well… lots of hopeful girls around the world will probably still be able to see a little tragedy in it, so we proudly keep building on the dualistic nature of the band as we make public that Johan Hallgren has indeed married his Anna!

 

Yes, on the 31st of May cell phones all over Sweden started to beep, play music, make noise or whatever they were set to do when an SMS arrived. In a sweet message we all found out that our two friends had sneekily escaped down to Gothenburg over the weekend to get married, with miracle photographer Lars Ardarve as their witness.

 

We were all very happy to hear this, and we are sure you all agree they make a lovely pair. Deepest congratulations once again!

 

And, of course, some warm words from Johan himself:

 

I never thought that I would marry someone, but I did.

It’s a wonderful thing if you marry the “right” person.

I feel closer to earth now.

She is here with me breathing right now, so soft.

I feel safe and calm.

Life has opened my mind a bit more.

We have a new member in the POS family and her name is Anna.

If you want the specific date you’ll have to ask me on the road so I don’t forget it…

 

Pssst….

She will never replace my fans, just make me love them and life even more.

 

Take care,

Johan & Anna Hallgren
