The Upcoming Albums Thread

Myrkur:

It's only been seven years since their stellar debut album came out. If you love Symphony X like I do, Anthriel is one of those bands that truly does a very good job at sounding like Symphony X, but with their own style.

Somebody uploaded all of the songs for the new album on youtube (I would hate that if I were in a band, having everything from my new album up on youtube before it's even released) and I listened to a bunch of it and am definitely ordering it. Sounds great!

Is that 15 June date just for European release?

Speaking of releases and amazon, I ordered the new Avatarium album thru them a day or so before it was released. Then I got an email from amazon saying they couldn't get the album until sometime in August, so I still haven't received it yet. Makes me wonder if the release date they originally reported for pre-orders was also European release only *shrug

They messed me around on my pre-order on Panopticon's Kentucky reissue like this, stating it was released on June 2nd and promising delivery by June 5th, which was changed at the last second on June 4th to a very vague June 16th - July 1st estimation. 

I found out at this point that it was not released until June 16th anywhere in the world, at least on CD.

However they also failed to fulfil the order by the true release date, switching the estimate to a firm July 1st and after emailing them about it I ended up cancelling with them. The highly irritating irony is that even though my replacement order with another company got shipped the same day I still don't have it and now Amazon has it in stock when they said they couldn't get it.
