Holy shit... I never even knew this project existed! I really think I should be checking out more of his stuff, after all he rarely seems to disappoint. Outside of Edge of Sanity itself, the only project that I have actually heard is his self-titled one (which released Moontower) and that was pretty good.

Anyway, that song sounded bloody fantastic to my ears, so I'm definitely looking forward to the album when it comes out *adds to upcoming albums list*. Thanks so much for posting this, because I haven't seen much interesting stuff on the thread over the last couple of days.

Edge of Sanity and Moontower are amazing. Witherscape's first album is pretty decent, but I remembered it being more similar to Opeth. Anyways, the only Swano project I don't like is Nightingale. Only heard one album, but it was painfully medicore AOR.

I've never heard of this band before, either. Anyway, I quite enjoy DsO and Behemoth, so it sounds like something that I should be able to dig. If I get some spare time over the next few days, then I will give the album a good listen. Also, when I was in the process of posting this, I sampled a few of tracks and the album certainly seems pretty promising.

On another note; it's pretty damn rare for a band to release a triple album. There's only one other band that comes to mind that's done that and it's Swallow the Sun. I must admit that Songs From the North I, II & III was a fantastic release (that greatly exceeded my expectations), considering how sceptical I was about it at first. It just shows how versatile the band is, with their ability to experiment with their sound and actually pull it off well.

If you've seen my 2015 albums of the year list on RYM you'll know that Swallow the Sun was very high up. Absolutely fantastic stuff. And Schammasch's album will definitely stay on the list. If you like Blut aus Nord OR DsO you'll absolutely love this.

If your machine isn't capable of playing games from the nineties, I'm pretty much surprised you actually manage to use a modern day browser without your computer crashing several times an hour. Oh well, at least you can still play Wolfenstein 3D, right? Shoot ALL the nazis!

Always nice to listen to the original Doom soundtrack, even though the soundtrack of the newest Doom is overwhelming and magnificent. It was a good thing Corrian mentioned it earlier in the thread.

I think so.

EDIT: Yes, from Skalmold facebook page
EUROPE! WE ARE COMING YOUR WAY!
Yup, we will hit the road with Korpiklaani and Moonsorrow this fall. We did have a little discussion about this yesterday and it went like this:
MOONSORROW's Ville Sorvali states:
"The first FFMM tour earlier this year was such a blast that we knew we had to do a second part. And this time with some non-FFMM villains from Iceland as special guests - welcome on board SKÁLMÖLD and try to hang on!"
SKÁLMÖLD's Snæbjörn Ragnarsson counters:
"Try to hang on?! Challenge accepted my friend! But wow, touring with not one but TWO Finnish bands, what could possibly go wrong? No, in all seriousness, I know this will be a killer tour. Great bands, great guys and (great) beer, what more do you need?"
Last but not least, KORPIKLAANI's Jonne Järvelä comments further:
"Oh my gods, is this Finnish Folk Metal Mafia madness going to continue with MOONSORROW? ...and we are going to get one more band on it? SKÁLMÖLD from Iceland? You had better come and see this with your own eyes because this will be something ELSE! See you soon there boys and girls!"
This is how it's gonna go:
KORPIKLAANI, SKÁLMÖLD
24.10. PL Gdynia - Ucho
25.10. PL Warsaw - Proxima
26.10. PL Wroclaw - Alibi
27.10. PL Katowice - Mega Club
28.10. SK Bratislava - Majestic
KORPIKLAANI, MOONSORROW, SKÁLMÖLD
29.10. CZ Prague - Club Meet Factory
30.10. A Vienna - Szene
31.10. A Graz - Explosiv
01.11. I Bologna - Zona Roveri
02.11. I Milan - Alcatraz
03.11. A Innsbruck - Hafen
04.11. CH Lausanne - Les Docks
05.11. CH Solothurn - Kulturfabrik Kofmehl
06.11. CH Winterthur - Salzhaus
07.11. D Aschaffenburg - Colos-Saal
08.11. D Lindau - Vaudeville
09.11. D Nürnberg - Hirsch
10.11. D Köln - Essigfabrik
11.11. NL Zoetermeer - De Boerderij
12.11. D Hannover - Musikzentrum
13.11. D Hamburg - Klubsen
So, where can we expect to meet you guys?

Only one show in the Netherlands, I see. But that's still more than France and Belgium got.
