Hail from OVERLORDE

[MEFLyingV]

Hey Mark, I wrote that one. And I'm not surprised "Auto translate" didn't work. Just tried it with Babelfish and it looks like I used a lot of weird words...

Ernie

Thanks, Ernie!

Everyone check out the big update at www.overlorde.com!

[Michael@SacredMetal]

Mark,
I checked it out - fantastic reviews!!
But in the recent issue of the "Heavy, oder was!?" there's not Overlorde-review. I read that the record got a 12-point-review and was quite curious to the read the review...

Michael

[Oliver/Keep-It-True]

It will be written by me and it will be in the next issue, cause the cd is in the soundcheck then. I told the guys the 12 points in advance so they can use it for advertising.

Hi Mark!
I received my "return of the snow giant" yesterday. The first time a listened to the songs was actually at your cd listening party on the web. This session was already quite promising. After having the CD now, I listened two times through all of the songs. Dudes, you really rock!!! In German I would say: FETT!!!
I am really looking forward to your gig on the Keep It True Festival. How long will your set be?

Cheers,
Schorsch

A very good album in my humble opinion, despite the fact that halfway through the disc I have some problems connecting to the individual songs and their main riffs/choruses. It even seems a bit rock-and-roll-ish at times, some of the vocal melodies and guitar riffs being a tad too much on the raunchy side for my melodic/dramatic tastes. I wouldn't mind if you had put even more emphasis on the epic side of the material and on the fluency of the melodies.
Favourite cuts so far: 'Trapped by magic' and 'Colossus (Island of the Cyclops)'.

Cool. Is MARK OF THE WOLF to your liking? I'd think so given the description of your tastes...

In fact, the orignial name for that song (before Bobby put words to it) was THE EPIC! Ha!

We will stay at a "Ferienwohnung" in Gerlachsheim, so we will walk to the venue on both days. Hope it's not too far away, because Gerlachsheim is between Dittigheim, where the Warm-Up Party is, and Lauda-Königshofen, where the KIT is. In which hotel will you stay in, maybe that helps one of the other people to pick you up

Hails!
