The album teaser sounds really good!
And the artwork looks awesome...

That is easily my favourite artwork for a STS CD, even including TMNC's gloomy haunted house and APOB's stern kings. A lot of bands seem to be getting artists to use the technique of mock-etching for their album covers (Paradise Lost, Behemoth, and that's only this year) but it has worked well on each one I've seen. Hopefully the music will be as dark and doomy, Hope was a little too Gothic for me.

...I hate to double post, but I just listened to the samples. They're kind of meeting Insomnium in the middle at this point, just without the catchy riffs and with a definite Tiamat influence in the vocals (good thing btw). I will be very interested to hear the end result. Just hoping the drums are sounding a little crunchier in the mix by then, as Kai Hahto is a very capable drummer.
