It is kinda weird they’ve announced the album tour and listening party, but not officially have announced the new album other than through interviews/comments.

Can’t wait to get the official announcement with all the goodies andl lead single!

Looks like sometime in early May:

Ah okay, thanks.

I feel bad for those committed hard core fans who paid a crap ton of money up front for the lifetime VIP passes that now aren't valid for the Listening Parties. (disclosure: I didn't buy one)

I blame the pandemic and other stuff for that. I really wish they had those lifetime VIP passes up when I finally got a decent paying job. Those are still good to get in every AB show without needing to buy a ticket right?

In all fairness, I've checked the prices for flights from SoCal to Orlando. It's pretty steep. It's like half the price of a lifetime VIP pass anyway.

Not sure if anyone posted this, but this was uploaded 2 days ago on 6/26. New interview with Mark. I skimmed through it a bit.

He talks about his Sinatra project (including more US Sinatra shows in September and one in London around 12/15), a lot about his new signature amp, songwriting, playing and writing guitar solos, re-releasing his A Dying Machine companion novel. I didn't hear much on the new album.

I’ve never trusted a Lifetime VIP ever since Projected sold one for $100 and literally never did a tour lol

Today?! Noontime?!

A quick check on iTunes New Zealand store confirms that there will be no album announcement today because it's already Friday 1AM for them and it would have been up.

Sheake my head

Album announcement doesn't mean single release, does it?

...maybe next week?

Next week would make sense - Mark's tour ends on the 6th and the Projected album just came out. So, it's probably next week or possibly the week after to give Mark a break.

Bumping this. Here’s hoping.

Add Kamelot to the list of bands teasing their as yet unnamed fall release on social media. No clips. No videos, no hard content, but they are communicating with their fans, and people are fired up because of it.

On the other side of the spectrum you've got Porcupine Tree who announced the album and released the single on November 1, 2021 and the actual release came out last week on June 24th.

Good record?
