Does Pagan Altar have any intention of releasing their new album 'Never Quite Dead'?

Sorry, just didn't know how exactly to start this topic. But I just had to get it out of my mind somehow, so that someone who might be able to answer can help me here.

I know it has been tough for PA, who might still be mourning from the passing of Terry Jones, but does Dean Alexander their drummer have any plans or intention to posthumously release the 'Never Quite Dead' album sometime in the future?

Any leads might be of great help. You see, I just cant wait for that release to come out, Terry Jones' passing away notwithstanding. Please don't mistake me as being insensitive or selfish.

Hey Easternthunder,

All I got from the Pagan Altar site, were just two email IDs for oracle records, but I got delivery failure daemons upon sending enquiries to either of those ID.

In short, it was a dead end.

Any other ideas?

Any other ideas?

Alas, no.

Not an official reply or anything, but I did receive a response from someone who had worked with the band in the past, though not anytime recently. They said it's ultimately up to the remaining band members, but unfortunately for us, probably not too likely. Terry Jones' illness had been interfering with his vocals and although they were technically completed, they were not quite up to par. This, coupled with some of the other members focusing on their own individual projects more recently, make it unlikely that the album will be released as previously stated, but I think it's anyone's guess as to what will happen in the far future.

Makes sense, but it had been reported (while Terry was ill) by someone close to the band that the album had actually been mastered and that the artwork was being worked on.
While your points are valid, if what I heard was true as well I'd be inclined (perhaps rather optimistically) that it'd be released to honour him and his legacy. Of course, if it does get released it will understandably perhaps not be for some time.
