Wow, that guitar riff was completely uninspiring. I hope there's a lot more to the song than that. I know they'll never do another "Turn Loose The Swans" but another "Dreadful Hours" would be enough for me.
The trailer reveals nothing about the song. This sample could be a transition into something greater. Skepticism was successful with their (roughly) 27 minute long "AES" ep, and I'm confident that MDB can also pull this off.
Thanks, man. I've always enjoyed concept albums and I'm really digging the fact that they're basing this off of dark English folklore that originated in their county.
