EDGUY To Release Tinnitus Sanctus In November
June 27, 2008, 16 years ago
Nuclear Blast Record has issued the following update on Germany's EDGUY:
"As previously reported a few weeks ago, Edguy have entered the Gate Studios in Wolfsburg to record the follow-up of their chart breaker album Rocket Ride.The new album will be produced by Sascha Paeth and is scheduled to be released in November 2008.
The album will be entitled Tinnitus Sanctus and Tobias Sammet has got the following news in store:
"The title just refers to the wall of sound that will bulldoze you. Let’s be modest: We have ten extraordinary songs and this new album is gonna be our ticket to the Hall Of Fame alongside with LED ZEPPELIN, BLACK SABBATH and AC/DC.
There won’t be a hit-single this time, not even a flop-single, ha,ha; not only because most songs are too long for a single, but also because for a single we had to produce way more stuff, lose money and need a time frame to release it. The album would come later then and that would suck.
For the record: Musically, we don’t go back to the roots. It’s not the Legacy Of Mandrake Part 2 and it’s not a little brother of Rocket Ride either. It’s a new album and we’ve set off to new horizons once more!
The stuff sounds really broad, very anthemic, heavy and ballsy. We’ve kept our trademarks and still there are a lot of elements that are different to anything we’ve done before. I know what some fans may think, because if my favourite bands would have come up with statements like that I would have been scared to death, but in our case I am sure this could be the album we’ll be measured by in the future."
