From the german site "plattentests.de":
Motorpsycho
The Crucible / 15.Februar (Stickman Records)
Crucible (engl.)
Tiegel / Schmelztiegel
Substantiv
cru · ci · ble | ˈKrü-sə-bəl
1: ein strenger Test / Belastungsprobe
2: ein Ort oder eine Situation, in der konzentrierte Kräfte zusammenwirken, um Veränderung oder Entwicklung zu bewirken oder zu beeinflussen
Ein schöner und zutreffender Titel, den sich die Drei ausgesucht haben. Eigentlich ist alles gesagt und ihr müsst nur noch reinhören.
Ein Album, das irgendwie mit dem Vorgänger "The Tower" zusammen hängt. Das Artwork weist zumindest darauf hin. Aber diesmal sind es nur drei Songs, die Song-Längen zeigen aber die Spielfreude und vor allem die Richtung, wo es diesmal hingeht:
Psychotzar (8:44), Lux Aeterna (10:56), the Crucible (20:51)
Googletransation:
Motorpsycho

Crucible
Crucible / Crucible
noun
cru · ci · ble | Krü-sə-bəl
1: a strict test / stress test
2: a place or situation where concentrated forces work together to effect or influence change or development
A beautiful and accurate title that the three have chosen. Actually everything is said and you just have to listen.
An album somehow related to its predecessor "The Tower". The artwork at least indicates. But this time there are only three songs, but the song lengths show the joy of playing and especially the direction, where it goes this time:
Psychotzar (8:44), Lux Aeterna (10:56), the Crucible (20:51)
Psychotzar – another Sabs ref? Psychotzar and Psychonaut to go along with Supertzar and Supernaut. These guys crack me up.
Wow! Two songs on side A and one song on side B is like a classic prog rock format!
Yes @BronYAur, much like HBM this will sure feel like an EP.
The guys are weird: in my opinion they do long albums that should've been shorter (Behind the Sun, The Tower), and short albums that should've been longer (HBM would've been their 21st century masterpiece with HBM2!).
So I have great expactations from these 40 minutes!
@ Neil Tresor and @ BronYAur – you're mentioning HBM makes me wonder what they might have up their sleeves for a tour EP.

Someone was lucky! Picture of the artwork…might be promo packaging, who knows!

This is a post from Sid Smith's Twitter feed from several days back. Not so interesting in terms of information, but this and Marc's post above mean pre-release reviews will likely start coming through fairly soon.
… and Amazon dot co dot uk have their mp3 download page up and ready to go
along with 30 second samples – if you're interested in spoilers.
EDIT: Oh those samples are so tantalising
