Any news on the new Trytan release "Blood of Kings"?

I see the release date is still TBA...

Does anyone have any updates on it? Are they still doing it?

Here is some older Trytan if you don't know who they are..

I didn't know about this!

I just checked their Facebook page (yes, one exists).  It says:

"NEW Trytan “Blood of Kings” writing workshops everyday in the Underground Pre Production Studio. We recently started tracking rough tracks & drums at EGK for the first song ‘The Descender’ and the drum sounds and performance were absolutely unbelievable and breathtaking. Eric is beyond extraordinary. And Jim LaVerde (bass/vocals) started writing his parts for the track. I’m so thankful & pumped. This album is going to be so tough & strong! I’m thankful for the team that the Lord has assembled. My oldest son Steven and ministry/music partner Mike Sandt have been integral in helping me with some of the writing workshops and pre-recording.
The final sessions at EGK resume in late April or May!"

Oh wow..thanks for the update..that is great news

That also answers another question...as I guess since Jim LaVerde is with them that Barren Cross is definitely done.

Hoping for a Hemispheres or Permanent Waves era sound

Here's a little sample of the guitar sound they are working with

I think they were anyway.

Some guys are in multiple bands at once so there's no reason he couldn't be too.  With zero news from BC in a long time, I assume they are done.

I like the tone.  Hopefully it's more prog metal and not the genero-metal on Sylentiger.

I never really could get into them back in the day. Some of it was the production. If that is the guitar sound and solo style, then I will probably be out on this one.

I could never get into Sylentiger back when it came out...though I like it better today (at least more than I used to).

I really loved their first album, though.

Which is surprising, since I am not a fan of Rush (a couple songs I like, and that's it) and they sound very similar to that.

If the vox didn't resemble Geddy Lee they wouldn't get compared too much to Rush, the music is more 80's metal. I enjoy their albums, hoping the new stuff isn't too different.

Lary's now saying summer 2020 at the latest.

Hope he's right, I'm not getting any younger. 

Considering there was some sort of major flooding in Lary's studio this year, I'm willing to cut him some slack.
