First single off of their as yet untitled album...a video has been shot which means the song should debut on radio very soon.

:o :o :o Ok, when I saw the title of this thread, I think my jaw just literally almost hit the floor. They may be my favorite new band over the past three to four years or so. That is the BEST freaking news I have heard in weeks! Holy freaking crap!!! I can't WAIT for new SOTY! You all think I'm just "a little" excited to hear this?  |

That probably sounds nowhere near as cool as it reads. |

They have yet to impress me on the level of their 2003/2004 singles again.

I recognized the name and remembered briefly what he's known for from learning about him in Astronomy classes in college, but I'll admit I did have to look him up on Wikipedia for a more detailed understanding on why exactly he was a brilliant individual. |

So, this isn't doing anywhere as well as I want it to, but hey what can you do? Anyway, the band has posted two album samples on their MySpace which sound absolutely amazing. I'll say it again as I did when I first heard material from "In The Wake Of Determination", and I was correct about that in 2005, but this will most likely be my favorite album of the year.

Considering how the last record bombed, I can't say I'm surprised "Wake Up" is stalling in the 50's. It deserves 40's, or at very best, 30's, but whatevs.

As I thought, this album reeks of awesomeness. After only one listen I don't think it's as mind blowing to me as "In The Wake Of Determination," and it's more comparable I think to "Page Avenue" with more variety and songs that I could see being more suited for radio. The one song that really stuck out to me is this ballad "Terrifed" that sounds like it could be a huge hit, but is definitely nothing like I've heard from SOTY before. I really like the amazing energy of the opener "Choose Your Fate," and closer "Welcome To Our New War." I could see "We Are Not Gonna Make It" as a future single.

I can agree with that. It seems they haven't really done too well since their second single "Anthem Our Dying Day" from "Page Avenue" was released, and with the way Alternative radio has been over the past few years, I don't understand why, but whatever. I've learned that as long as my favorite bands keep putting out sick ass material, I don't seem to mind as much if they don't get any publicity. I think what I was I was trying to say is that if they release any single at all, that may be the one loner to hopefully at least reach the Top 50, but I can't see happening. I do expect them to give it one more try as they did with "In The Wake Of Determination" too with "Take Me Back", but as I said, failed like "We Don't Care Anymore." |

Is this band still with the same label it was with when they publicly complained about the direction they were being forced into, while not even playing "Anthem For Our Dying Day", "Sidewalks" and "We Don't Care Anymore" for their Taste of Chaos tour two years ago?
If so, that probably explains their lack of promotion/success. Amazing how often a label goes against its own best interests just to show its minions who's boss.

They're now on Epitaph. |
