Imagineer

They are playing where I live in November and I'm thinking of going. I'm not a huge fan, I mostly like the Anneke era and specifically Mandylion and Nighttime Birds. I haven't given many chances to their newer stuff but this looks like the time to do that.

I really like the album. It has this atmospheric-otherworldly sound at times that I really enjoy. My favorites are Underthing Solstice, See and Aphrodite Rising.

The video is nothing really interesting but Hi-Lo is definitely the best track off synthesis.

In the sense that bands have started tours before their album was out. And I believe that if their album gets released after the tour starts, they will definitely play a few songs from the new album and not just play classics. We' ll see though. They have to start announcing things soon!

I’m sorry but obviously screens are not gonna look good in YouTube videos where you can’t even see the band because of them. It’s different live, I really enjoyed them in 2016, it was only the big screen in the back, so maybe it won’t look as good now, but I’m certainly not gonna say I like them or not based on some YouTube videos.

Thanks for the info @hunebedbouwer! That’s probably the first news we got since forever. Sounds very interesting! As for touring before the new album comes, I really don’t like it, but it’s not something that uncommon. Other bands do it. If that happens I’d say that they will probably play like 4-5 songs from the new album first. And we will definitely have one or more singles by then.

Why is it so hard to understand? Elan is the band’s most recent single (lead single at least) and th most well known song from EFMB. Is it the best on the album or better than some of the songs they left out? Probably not. But people who just got into NW with EFMB and casual fans will want to listen to that one more than a song that came out 20 years ago and maybe they haven’t even heard of. (Disclaimer: I prefer Elvenpath and DSC to Elan, but it’s only logical).

Well for festival season what more did you expect? I see zero chance of them adding new songs for a festival. If it happens, it will happen in the SA or European tours.

Awesome news! Where did you find That @GreatEye, does he have a Facebook or something? I’ve kind of gotten used to Marco’s version but I think this one will be the ultimate!

Great one! I've been following your channel for a couple of months now as I am learning French and I thought it would be a good way to also do some practice. Your covers are great! Keep up the great work!

I meeean I'm not saying she won't but maybe at least wait until we actually get to see it before bashing NW again? We haven't really got any samples or someting.

It seems like a new FSAG ep was released? It includes the guests version of Feliz Navidad plus other language versions of songs from FSAG. O Christmas Tree, Sublime Gracia, O Viens, O Viens Emmanuel. I don't know if that was released recently or back in December(which would make more sense). News for Act II coming probably later today. Edit: Here we go.

Yeah, only one concert from me too. The same as L_Alpenglow's although in Bulgaria. Shudder Before the Beautiful Yours Is an Empty Hope Bless the Child Storytime My Walden Élan Weak Fantasy 7 Days to the Wolves The Siren The Poet and the Pendulum I Want My Tears Back Nemo Stargazers Sleeping Sun Ghost Love Score Last Ride of the Day The Greatest Show on Earth If Tarja covers count then:

They are also releasing a Powerwolf cover in June (I think?) and then the new version of Beyond the Matrix. Can't wait! Crimson Bow and Arrow is now on ITunes as the first single. If Inside These Walls will be the second. I wonder if a video will follow tomorrow. Maybe even a lyric video would be cool.

Btw why haven't they advertised the finnish shows on social media and such? They always do it for new dates but these just appeared on the website. And these are special dates (Hartwall, last show etc). Any chance they maybe waiting for something more special about these dates to be announced?
