I've been a huge FOTN fan in the 90s, I've seen FOTN, Nefilim and Rubicon all live in those days.
But now I prefer to keep the original line-up in good, vivid memory. I am not up-to-date with the line-up, but it is no reunion, isn't it? It's still Carl McCoy plus some other guys? I saw Carl plus other Guys (it was the transition from Nefilim back to FOTN before another hiatus) on a festival years ago and it's just not the same as the original band. Not the same brilliant sound, especially due to a second guitar player missing, and the magic was gone (ok, that's a personal impression).
Soundwise "Rubicon" as the band with new singer was (at least when live performing) more FOTN than Carl with his three-piece backing band.
That's why I don't expect much from this and would recommend to watch the live DVD to catch the original spirit.

I have the Forever Remain / Visionary Heads DVD, and it is quite good.

yep, that's the one I had in mind :-]

If I were in London in May, I would definitely go to the Gotham 8 festival,
w/ reunited Cassandra Complex, ITN, and you get also NFD, which as a FOTN spin-off covers the sound quite well (from samples I have heard)



maybe an option for you?
