This is what I just read on DPRP.net:

Also, on the Shadow Gallery forum, Gary Wehrkamp said this:
"all questions to be answered in time... soon another trailer in less than a week.. We hope to have a new one every week - then also longer audio clips up inside of two weeks. Thanks for the interest everyone.. I can tell you we are very excited about sharing this disc with you. There is also a special edition disc with 4 extra songs, including some with mike singing..."

I want the special edition!!  *horns* 8)

I would lie telling that I find the cover astonishing but it's not so bad either. Really dark, though.

Deenfan

Pretty darn cool, if you ask me.

I was a bit surprised to find that the Logo of Shadow Gallery, you know the font type, has been changed.
I asked Gary W. about it and he replied: New album, new line up, new logo.

Clear enough.  :D

Okay, time for some more news:

Quote from: Shadow Gallery ForumSHADOW GALLERY: new album "Digital Ghosts" to be released October 26th (Europe) and November 3rd (North America) via InsideOutMusic; launch cover artwork!

SHADOW GALLERY, widely considered a major and innovative force within the realms of progressive rock and metal, have returned with their 6th studio effort "Digital Ghosts". Following up 2005's "Room V" as well as the "Prime Cuts" compilation release of material from previous albums in 2007, "Digital Ghosts" will be released on October 26th, 2009 in Europe and November 3rd, 2009 in North America via InsideOutMusic.

After the tragic passing of lead singer Mike Baker in October 2008, "Digital Ghosts" introduces new lead singer Brian Ashland and not only sees the entire band once again sharing additional vocal duties but also features guest vocal appearances by Ralf Scheepers (Primal Fear) and Clay Barton (Suspyre) to compliment the release. With "Digital Ghosts", Shadow GallerY's members Brendt Allman, Carl Cadden-James, Gary Wehrkamp, new addition Brian Ashland and returning drummer Joe Nevolo (who appears on two songs of the record) have focused their powerful energies on creating a seamless blend of progressive, metal, and symphonic rock as a transcendent work of musical art that advances the boundaries of these genres into new directions.

Guitarist / Keyboardist Gary Wehrkamp comments on "Digital Ghosts" as follows:

"As a band, we are thrilled to have new music to share with everyone. This album is a dedication to our wonderful fans, and also to the memory of our singer and friend Mike Baker.

We had to deal with a few tragic events during the course of this recording, but pressing on we approached the production the way we always do: Trying to provide our very best. We had a terrific time making this record and hope all the emotion and love we put into it endures, transcends and touches every one who is ready for it.

You can expect some shades of a new direction on this record. We had long been trying to incorporate more prog elements and the time was right to stretch out a little bit, while remaining true to the heavy and powerful rock based songs that have been a staple of SHADOW GALLERY since the earliest days".


The track-listing for the album reads as follows:

SHADOW GALLERY – "Digital Ghosts":

1. With Honor

2. Venom

3. Pain

4. Gold Dust

5. Strong

6. Digital Ghost

7. Haunted


Two small first video teasers for "Digital Ghosts" can be viewed on the band's youtube channel:

More details as well as music samples for "Digital Ghosts" will be available in the coming weeks.

So, a new singer. Never heard of this fellow. He must be quite good i'd say, to even begin to fill the void Mike left behind.
I'm also surprised that Joe Nevolo will only play drums on two tracks. I thought he was a full member of SG. Apparently not.

Be that as it may, i'm still eagerly waiting for this release!!!

Don't know him. Googled a bit and found a MySpace profile of a band with a Brian Ashland, but he only does backing vocals. And no music added to this profile, doesn't help either  ;). Here's the link: http://www.myspace.com/avedisband

Well, I hate him. Haven't heard of him, haven't heard a note of his singing, and yes, I am a very stubborn, unreasonable little man right now.

In the past years i've begin to know you a bit so for me it's safe to say that you're joking.  ;)

Right?  :-\

Well, I am being satirical about my own feelings. Definitely. But take away all the correction performed by reason, social training and wisdom, and you're left with an instinctive disliking towards anyone who materializes as the one supposed to replace Mike Baker.

Now, a measure of wisdom and reason is still present, so it'll be alright. The problem isn't that he's replaced, but that he's irretrievably gone, and I do of course realize that.

It'll also be easier to hear new material with this guy singing, than it'd be to hear any mortal trying to do "Don't ever cry, just remember". I hope that is something I will never have to witness.

And?  ;)

I personally like it.
As i already said elsewhere, Brain Ashland is a combination of Mike and Geoff Tate but don't really know if that's a good thing.
It seems to me that they are playing safe.  :-\

Didn't expected that.

He does has a good voice though and i like the song. It reminds me of early Shadow Gallery.

Well, it starts out unnecessarily hard and fast. I hope it is a cool diversion, and that they aren't turning all DT on me. Else, the singer... Doesn't sound bad. In fact, he sounds like he's gonna take a while to get my head around. This is potentially very good. Could mean he's got the X factor.

Let's see. I'm a bit under the weather from this emotional hardship.

But yes, I can tell it's SG, and I also felt a shadow of the past roaming the gallery. And that is good, 'cause as with a few other bands I can mention, the strongest magic is in the first two albums...
