Sorry for DP, but there's also a new vid with Laura Macri https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4wqLXrp3ho

AND:

The guys are looking so handsome together in that pic, love it!

I'm totally in love with the second guitarist already ^_^ His so hawt and totally talented.

i really like Laura's voice.She seems a very talented ssinger.Does she sing in italian there? Because it certainly sounds like italian to me

the most awesome thing in those pics: AUDREY! <3

am I the only one who's starting to actually dislike Audrey's pics? They're so edited.

^ I NEVER LIKED HER PICS!!! *highfive* And now she actually as herself is starting to get on my nerves too..

I want to see this "over-edited" pics you talk about so I can critique properly.

No. 8, for example.

Audrey is a very nice person, and she's an excellent photographer. She's known to be the best one out there in the Metal industry, and that's not without reason... You can say whatever you like, but I look up to her. She's a strong woman.

These are just my impressions. I can't tell what person she is. Just the impression I get annoys me.

To the pics... for me the big watermarks are also extremely disturbing! Just a name in small font in a corner is enough... Her watermarks just take away the joy of viewing the pics.
But that's just me.

I agree. Those watermarks are way too big.

I don't know, I like Audrey's pics.But her watermarks get on my nerves too I don't know her in person,but she doesn't seem annoying to me in any way...

watermarks is a photographers only security against people stealing your work. Big watermarks are needed, really I know this, the small ones are too easy to cop away. People steal my photos online, but as long as my watermark is there, the work is still mine. Watermarks are so important, I totally understand her...

Quote :

The last 2 songs will get mixed the upcoming two days and after that mastering and the cd is finally ready!

As I hear those mixed version now I get even more excited. This music is quite ... heavy

Also Floor, Simone, laura and Henning sound amazing. It's great to work with so many colours (according to the voicepalet)
And I think many people will be surprised about the grunts, they sound more versatile compared to Epica.

Cheers Mark

+ new tour dates:
25-05-2011 Café Nachtleben, Frankfurt, Germany
31-05-2011 Backstage, Munich, Germany

MaYan teaser. PERKELE!!!!!!!!!! \m/ Sounds fucking amazing.

It's SO different from Epica. The beginning sounds like Behemoth, next sample could be Therion, it sounds totally diverse! Floor <3

I love it too! This band will be epic live..

Sounds pretty diverse indeed. Can't wait till May.

Mark has confirmed it's Simone doing the part with Henning. Just wow, i thought it was Floor! She has again growed as a singer!

I looooove Laura's operatic vocals, such stunning! This girl's very potent I think.

So far, I haven't liked those MaYan samples. I really hope that the songs alone will grow on me as long as the whole album comes out...
