CLOUDSCAPE's third album, "Global Drama", will be released late spring/early summer. 12 songs were recorded for the CD, which will be "the most varied and interesting album by CLOUDSCAPE so far," according to the band. "It contains a few really hard and raw metal songs and there will also be a few more atmospheric and dynamic songs progressively spiced."

The artwork for CLOUDSCAPE's third album will once again be handled by Mattias Norén. The CD was produced by Pontus Lindmark and recorded at RoastingHouse Studios in Malmö, Sweden.

CLOUDSCAPE's video for the song "Demon Tears" can be viewed below. The clip was directed, filmed and edited by Rainer Holmgren and was included on the ProgPower UK DVD sampler, which was made available during the ProgPower UK festival on March 31, 2007. 11 actors are featured in the video, including Andy Pierce, who is the lead singer in the Swedish glam rock band NASTY IDOLS. Director Rainer Holmgren also appears in the clip in a boxing match scene.

"Demon Tears" comes off CLOUDSCAPE's sophomore album, "Crimson Skies", which was released in the U.S. in July 2006 via Nightmare Records. Artwork for the album was created by Mattias Norén.
