GLITTERTIND: New Album Delayed

September 25, 2008

Torbjørn Sandvik of Norway's GLITTERTIND has issued the following update:

"We have done a lot of recordings and the progress of the work with the new album has been great. There are some bad news concerning my personal life however. My girlfriend was diagnosed with blood cancer (leukaemia) a few days ago. We are prepared and motivated to take the fight, but her chemotherapy will be though and the treatment will take time.

"I will continue to work with the new album in these times because for me, music is a source of inspiration, energy and strength. Unexpected things might happen along the way and to avoid a stressy deadline — I have decided to carry a lighter backpack. Therefore the release is postponed another three months. No release date is official however. The album might be finished before this, but things can also turn out differently.

"I ask for understanding and patience for this decision. The new album material is outstanding and the best piece of music I have ever done. So I think it will be worth the wait."

GLITTERTIND in February signed a long-term agreement with Napalm Records. The contract covers the new album as well as the re-release of "Til Dovre Faller", which has been unavaileble for a long time.

GLITTERTIND's most recent release was the "Til Dovre Faller" mini-CD, which came out in April 2005 via Karmageddon Media. The CD was produced and recorded by Torbjørn Sandvik at Studio Jotunheim in October-November 2004, except the synthesizers, which were recorded at The Stable in December 2004 by Henri Sorvali. The mixing was handled by Sandvik during the first week of January 2005. The EP was mastered by Mika Jussila at Finnvox Studios in Helsinki, Finland.
