Looking forward to hearing some samples. That evergreen splatter vinyl looks cool!

love the cover art

I will preorder this a little closer to the actual release.

Interesting lineup, I'm very curious what Loomis and Hoekstra sound like on this.

Dumb question: if the “bonus tracks” are included with the album why are they called bonus? I’ve seen this before where songs are called bonus tracks but appear on every version of an album. Doesn’t that just make it a regular song on the album?

Advertising ploy.

Good question, I’ve often wondered that!!!!

This exactly!  Oh, I could see it being bonus tracks if the European version came out first but only had 10 songs.  Then, they release this in the USA with a couple more songs to get us to buy it.  But, it is still a marketing ploy.

Those 5 second samples at least sounds promising 

Finally some European distribution this time around. I'm pretty curious about this one.

Great song.

Wow!!!! That smokes!!

Yup...Me thinks so too!

Not every version is showing it coming with the bonus tracks.

I pre-ordered the autographed disc package from Rat Pack. First song was amazing.

That might be a different version as it is on Frontiers Records instead of Rat Pak. Looks like the US version has the bonus tracks.

Yeah, that was my point, that there is a different version of it showing for outside the US.

Of course, this may just be a temp oversight in descriptions...but it would make sense that only US has them.

Here is another site, from the UK, showing no bonus tracks

new song is good but just sounds too much like Stryper and I am talking the music not vocals.

Oz is a great player but Loomis is on another level, Oz never played like that.

Is he allowed to?

Since he's done work other then Stryper I'd say yes, if he could. It's ok, not many are in Loomis's realm, not trying to start anything here.

It´s a good song! I think lately I've been enjoying more his solo stuff than Stryper. One Sided War was and is a really good album. I have high hopes for Ten.
