"The next album may be ready in 2012"

[Fallout]

Just to tease y'all who haven't heard the news. As most of us know, the guys wrote twice as many songs as they needed for EotW. This means we will eventually hear most of these. Don't get me wrong, these songs will by no means be "leftovers", they simply did not fit the theme and style of EotW.

So anyway, I will use this thread to trickle out bits of info about the next album, as and when I am allowed to. Same goes to other people who know stuff (from meeting the band etc). - don't just drop a bomb and reveal everything you know at once. We don't want any brains melting (or the band hating us for trusting us)

Don't ever became like Korpiklaani! They are releasing a new album every year and they all sound the same.
EotW was a great idea, it's atmosphere were showing us the future we face, we run out water, oil and food shortly, but most of my friends couldn't catch it.

If I were you, I would make a short single with 3 tracks and a revolutionlike intro about the arabian awakening

[mumppis]

well masu has released redeemer 2006, overworld 2008 and eotw 2010 so thats pretty much 2 years or lil over between albums.

I think the reason the next album may be done so fast is because the band went through a very creative period and wrote way too many songs than they needed for EotW. I know for a fact that they are pretty much settled on an album name and have quite a bit of the meat of writing the songs done so far.

I don't expect it to sound exactly the same as EotW, I expect them to make decisions as artists along the way to releasing the next album to change the songs as they develop, and to purposefully choose a different dynamic to their last album.

If you figure that the songs that didn't make EotW didn't because they didn't fit the theme and sound of the album, surely that is enough to derive that the next album will sound different?

I've heard parts of some of them. They were awesome

[Fallout]

And totally different-sounding to any EotW songs. I heard one very very sid-heavy track.. so much so that I can't remember any guitars. But I was quite drunk, so I may have been imagining things.

[GhostNinja]

I don't recall hearing any either, and I wasn't drunk.

A new album at the end of 2012 wouldn't surprise me, to be honest! November 2010 - Q4 2012 isn't very special, even more so if the band says they already have good materiaal. Is there any source for that btw? Where does this come from?

[MashedByMachines]

Gordon told me that early 2012 is not impossible

This is just a prank. EotW will be the last album they release, anything else would be a breach of continuity.

So, I'll drop a bomb, while it's quiet - rob won't be checking the forums for a while.

They are remaking Hero for the next album.
