The single “The Plague” started the hype for the new Diary of Dreams album a few weeks ago, and now its release date is finally just around the corner. In less than 2 weeks, on October 26th, Nekrolog 43 will be released in Europe. The album will be available in 2 different versions, both boasting over 70 minutes of music within their 13 tracks. With the limited edition, you also get the special “ecolbook” packaging (which is basically a CD-sized hardcover book) containing 32 pages of special artwork and photos. There is also a special CD label that is different from the regular version.

For my fellow Americans, it looks like we will only be getting one version of the album (but that’s certainly better than none). And while we do have to wait another week and a half until November 6th, we do get a different album cover. Metropolis Records already has the album available to pre-order for just $12.98.

Diary of Dreams is supposed to have made Nekrolog 43 deeper and more diverse than their previous album Nigredo was three years ago. I’ve read that their captivating darkwave sound remains fully intact and has only gotten better. That sounds good to me, considering I really enjoyed Nigredo. You can hear “The Plague” on the band’s MySpace page along with some older tracks. There are also 2 song samples from Nekrolog 43 of Metropolis’s Diary of Dreams page.
