As a friend of the band and as a person that did most of their EoP PR, I did choose to send in the CD to TotD for a reason.

Either way, thanks a bunch for your support Jordan, and the rest of the staff!

so JWP just signed with Code666, just like we said. Perfect fit.

In fact, shortly after this review went up I sent an email to Code666 with a review of their 10-year anniverary disc, using that as an intro so I could plug JWP as a band they needed to check out.

Now, I’m not sayin’ that’s how the band and label got talking to one another but it sure would be cool, right?

funny you should mention that Cynic, I was thinking the same thing.

I checked your myspace page and all I can say is this: Why aren’t you signed???????? The music industry baffles me sometimes.

Methinks a label like Code 666 or Profound Lore would fit you like a glove, JWP.

check again, there are 4 songs from Escape on there – Iz Grotla Života, Careless are Your Souls, I am the Forest and Trpaš se po Mesima, plus one from Birth of Pozoj (which I agree, not as good). But they’re really not meant to be taken in on their own, much better as a full album experience.

Mostly based on your nice words. Their myspace page only has one song from this album on it. The other songs must be from an earlier demo and they aren’t as good.

did you guys listen to the myspace samples or are you just rabid to hear it based on my nice words?

Seems like it’s next to impossible to get your hands on the album; tried a few distros. Yet to hear back from the other, but a German one @ http://www.schwarzdorn.de/ has it. Too bad the shipping rates are atrocious. Also contacted the band to see if they offer it, but again haven’t heard back. Will keep you posted.

@ Cynic: No but I remember you mentioning it several times. Will look into it.

Comparing JWP to bands that occupy a significant place in my life. VERY intrigued.

By the way, have you heard the newest Thy Catafalque, Gaba? SOMEONE needs to review that extraordinary masterpiece.

Good review as usual and the album sounds more than promising. Need to check it out.
