I was just talking with a friend yesterday about how cool this album will be. It's extra killer that you and Gene will be on it.

Love the 80s stuff.

Looking forward to hearing it!

I'll give it a try

Wasn't a fan of "Man of Straw" but i guess a second try never hurt.

Thanks, I think you guys will like this record....

I can't wait to hear it!

Excellent!!!! I will be buying it!!!!

It will be Mine!

I've been following the progress on the album very faithfully. This is my most anticipated upcoming release I think.

Will it be like the first 2 albums?

yep

Is it true that Mike Gonzalez from Dark Angel will be playing on the album?

Judging from the clip I've heard of one song, and the drum tracks Gene Hoglan had on YouTube for another, it probably will be.

Sure is taking a long time to release this album. I hope it hasn't been shelved.

Don't know what the deal is with the album but they are going to do an east coast tour in April with Possessor.

The album is in the mixing stages, according to Viking's Facebook page.

Good Christ. This was announced THREE years ago? And they're just in the mixing stages??

I'll buy it. I enjoy the new tracks.

Speaking of long overdue albums... what's the status of the next ToB?

Are you liking/following our band page? We've been posting updates there.

Drums and bass are pretty much done. Still working on rhythm guitar tracks. Having to get my guitar worked on again and when I get it back I will resume tracking.

Songs have been pretty much written for years now ... it's recording the rhythm guitars that has mostly been the hold up.

We're auditioning a new guitarist in 2 weeks that sounds very, very promising.

Andre' Corbin from Helstar is still on board playing leads for us. The guy is an amazing player and hasn't been heard from since he played on the masterpiece "Nosferatu".

Everyone says this but this new album really will blow our old stuff away. I don't think anyone wants it to see the light of day more than me. If for no other reason than finally I can start writing some NEW songs!
