I posted the cover art for the new Fleshgod Apocalypse like... a month ago and no one said anything. :lame:

God forbid we don't get excited about a picture. One which isn't even that awesome compared to the last two covers.

Why have they blacked up in the video?

It's alright I guess though. Wouldn't call it very symphonic as such when all they're doing is using an orchestra patch instead of plain strings. Still obviously played as keyboard parts as opposed to it being performed as an orchestra would.

I am being a pedantic cunt.

Agreed on the the face paint and stuff. And honestly you can't expect every band to be backed by a full blown symphony right? It still sounds good.

Not really, but a few people that I've seen commenting on the band elsewhere have been all "ZOMG SYMFONIEZ" as if they were going all out a la Therion (different style I know). Still, not bad. The clean vocals are awesome.

Hammers of Misfortune released the title and tracklist of their new album, 17th Street: http://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Ha ... eet/312345

I've heard from Arthur von Nagel of Cormorant that it's more similar in sound to The August Engine than their most recent material, and that their new male vocalist sounds similar to Mike Scalzi.
