Today, October 21, 2009, sees the release of Hopes Were High's fourth album, the first one actually being good: The Dark Tower I: The Gunslinger!

It is the first of seven planned parts to be inspired by the The Dark Tower fantasy series by Stephen King. It is also by far the longest HWH release, by 51 minutes.

It departures a lot from all previous releases, as it abandons most heavy metal instruments excluding some drums and bass; it relies much more on symphonic instruments as well as choirs. As with the previous two releases Among Crows and Gods and These Hours of Conclusion it is entirely computer-generated, except for two bonus tracks: a demo version of the title track and an unreleased song entitled "Tull".
