Are either Pythagoras or Artemis being used in the recording of the new album? If so, which one?

Of course! Both guitars have been used and will continue to be used.

When will the UK store have more merchandise?

As soon as possible we promise!!!

You underlined a couple of times, how the songs on the albums are not randomly arranged, but telling a chronological story or aiming at a bigger theme. Keeping that in mind, have you considered any changes for your usual live shows, to strengthen this element for record number three on stage? Like a more theatrical- or storyline-concept as a central theme, which could take the audience through the performance?

One simple answer, a resounding YES!

Are you open to the possibility, of giving some of the talented musicians among your fan base (some of them even regulars on this board) the chance to play the opening band for you at one show?

We have always been open to that and have done so in the past in the States.

What is the new album’s theme? You had a space theme for your first album and life issues for A Beautiful Lie. Will the next one continue in the footsteps of ABL or go in a totally new direction?

This album has really opened us up to many new possibilities and we are talking about many things. Mostly inspired by the world surrounding us while creating this record.

Will there be a special or limited edition of the new album?

We have some plans for some unique packaging and limited edition bonus content.

Do you think that there is an essential message that 30stm has transmitted since the creation of the first album? If so, do you think it has evolved into something different?

We have always believed from the beginning in having an open mind, to think for yourselves, to take risks, to challenge one self, to learn, to experience life and what it has to offer…

Will there be a return of "missions" for the echelon with the coming of a new album?

The Glyphics mission is the first. Please continue to post your pics.

Do you think all the Echelon traditions regarding the tours such as code colors and home made 30 STM gear are still cool, or do you think it is time for a change?

Important question. It is time for a change. We must continue to move forward and evolve in all respects. Presentation and identity included. The color RED is important for many reasons and will remain so. It is the color of passion, the color of blood, the color of MARS. It should be left on the MARS flag, TRINITY seal, MITHRA seal and TYRE - (the arrow) ONLY from here on out. For this next phase BLACK attire will be the foundation and the canvas to build upon. This is war. White dress is for special occasions and should be ALL WHITE NO RED on any clothing at all. It should be kept special and limited to the previously mentioned symbols and icons. Please encourage everyone to join in this experiment. It will be a sight to see. -CRASH MINISTER OF PROPAGANDA [echelon]

How far do you think you are from reaching your personal goals as members of 30 STM?

As long as we keep expressing ourselves musically and visually and sharing the experience with others, then our goals are constantly being met.

What happened to the ideas we sent in for consideration by you guys?

We have read them all and will be using as many as possible in the future. Keep sending them in!

Thanks guys for the answers. Nice that you've been lurking in Purgatory

Though I think I need to read the color answer a few times before I'll get it.

I think I inhaled a bit too much paint the last few days while painting my house. My brain is not cooperating.

So red is only as decoration color? White for special events, and then only ALL white? And black all the other times?

why, thank you.

since two questions among the selected were asked by myself, I'm naturally quite glad to see the answer to them, even more so since they sounds quite promising and got me curious for more.

Very interesting. Nice to read between the lines that you will stick to the three emblems we have learned to recognize you by, plus the Glyphics. I think the red nights were a European 2007 concert invention (if I remember correctly) and it's nice to know that it somehow remains special to a certain time period from now on. Looking forward to read more about what ideas you got up your sleeve regarding this, Jared.

Not that the band cares, but ergh, the colours....

Black is great, and I wear it a lot, but it's so...typical? Red was always what stood apart with this band, for me. When you see pictures of everyone in red, it's a really cool look. Like the Red Mile in Calgary when the flames were in the playoffs. I agree with the white, though. Special events and such.

Thanks for answering the questions, guys. I like when we get full answers.

Even if I don't agree with them, haha.

PS- There's no way in hell your dress code is going to stop me from wearing my jersey. It took me waaaaaaaay too long to make.

Edit: However, if they have something cool planned with the black, I reserve the right to change my mind. Haha.
