To be completely honest, I'm only nervous about Sam's performance on the next album because I so loved Rayner's vocals...It seems to fit to me, especially on Worlds.

Oh well, I'm sure it'll sound fine. I shouldn't doubt you and your ability to pick vocalists.

Again, can't wait for the new album.

Will there be lots of spacey solos that go off into the horizon making all sorts of cool noises?

I was joking in my previous posts, I think Sam does a great job on the vocals and bass. Its a new era for the band and its gonna be great. Sam is a very Talented man.

So any new updates?

eagerly awaiting that "Sands Of Time" thrill, should tide me over 'til the new album does arrive!

& damn!!! think the previous 3 are masterpieces!!! never a dull moment

Having immense bumlove for both Vader and Mithras, the only real similarity I can think of between Peter/Piotr and Rayner in the vocal department is that while having very, very, very loud/cool voices, unlike almost everyone else in the metal club they are easy to understand on the first listen.
Nergal is good for that too.

Ah, I've only just seen this. I'm quite bad at keeping up to date with forums when I'm not emailed about them.

You can subscribe to sections of the forum, then the board sends you an email when something happens, though I don't use that myself.
