Yes! Just ahead of some headlining shows.


And check out the limited edition SMAL tee shirt at the end of that preview. I might need that.
Another photobucket casualty... :(

Looks like there are going to some great visuals. Hopefully they'll find a way to incorporate that into their live shows.

I've watched a few versions of them playing SMAL and I think they should cut Mark's vocals entirely. He doesn't sound good at all. Reminds me of The Uninvited when he tries sing "For the Blood" He doesn't do well with those higher vocals

Why, though? I know before we weren't all that surprised that he might struggle to sing like that live, but after hearing him sing just a few months ago on the Dust tour I thought he was really starting to sound fantastic live, even on the more challenging songs. Wouldn't you think that if he could sing strong and high (for him) as a front man, he could handle a few higher backing vocals?

I think Myles sounds fine without Mark. Mark can sing high but in his own register.

So today marks the day of the SMAL video launch.. my guess is it will be US time as usual (even though they'seem to focus anything else on Europe) so that means somewhere this afternoon for us over here!

I'm not digging it at all. This retro-cinematic style comes out utterly cheesy here.

Indeed... I like it, but it's a bit like a weird, psychotic dream. Makes me wonder wether I'm on 'shrooms or something :D

Too much focus on the band, not enough on telling a story imo. This would have been fitting, since the song is pretty much about recent events. Still their best video, which isn't that hard imo.

I don't think they're actual letters. It looks like it's one design just duplicated and flipped for left and right.
