The Devil's Blood is no more.

The first track from the demo/full length is up now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=mlyVA3bGhDA

I've got no objections to this. Sound quality is a little rougher than the albums but if anything it seems to suit the material. Pretty strong songwriting and the atmosphere is not lacking at all. The singer has seldom sounded as much like a female version of early Geoff Tate.

Album versions up for pre-order at VAN records as well.

I want to see the noble folder and the tote.

With the on going tattoo happening I think I will be forced to wait for the regular editions to arrive at Hells Headbangers this time Confused

I don't mind the last Noble editions from VAN, I have the last few Devils Blood and Ruins of Beverast on that style, but a carry tote bag? Not sure if I really need that for a record I am going to slip into a plastic sleeve and file next to the previous LP's on the shelf.
Their hard black thick carton stock gatefold jackets are nice, but alas... with shipping and what have you... time to cut back on the unneeded items to get the music itself.

Honestly, I think that song is pretty boring... but I'd like to hear it in the context of the full album. I'll definitely be buying it either way, but the art once again looks like it will be stunning.

I kind of want the lavish LP to get the full artwork, but at the same time, €50 is a lot for one record, even for a diehard. Besides, the song is only alright, but it doesn't seem quite as strong as their previous material. I'm sure the rest of the album will be good though.

e: This song isn't really interesting enough to justify the 10 minute runtime imo, but I haven't been paying attention to the lyrics, which might make it more worthwhile/less repetitive.

I really like the new song, but it's a strange choice for a preview...
I am indeed looking forward to hearing the whole album.

The album is really really good, even though it's pretty rough, there are some brilliant parts.

This new song is very surprising, somewhat very repetitive but it works well IMO. I hope the CD or regular LP version will at least have lyrics and info.

I have the Lavish version of The Time Of No Time and its really nice. Gonna have to skip this Lavish though cause I just dropped a shit ton for the Tormentor demos. Oh well maybe it will still be available sometime down the road. If not the false version will suffice.
