Great news... I wonder what Messiah will do, another band? or a solo project?
EDIT: I also hope that this doesn't affect too much Solitude Aeturnus.
Someone once said these things on the forum:

I've spoken with John Perez many, many times over the years and the reason why Solitude have been inactive is simple: money. These guys are not rich, they don't have great jobs, and cannot afford touring or recording albums. It's sad, really. John has his Brainticket Records, but that's no enormous source of income. This band needs a solid record deal and some serious promotion. That's what they need. Right now they don't have it.
Lowe could be a full-time member of each band. Solitude have done nothing for almost 9 years now. Do you think they'll be touring much for Alone? No way. Nor will they have another album out any time soon. Solitude Aeturnus are never a full-time band. They can't afford it. They'll do a small tour in Europe and some dates locally in Texas, and that's about it. Why do you think it's taken 8 years for a new album? Robert Lowe could most definitely do both bands.
Most of my reasoning is based off of my knowledge that Solitude get no fair shakes. Lowe singing for Candlemass could put the spotlight on Solitude finally, a well-deserved spotlight. Either way, you've got to admit that Lowe on a Candlemass album would be amazing!
