THEATRE OF TRAGEDY: New Audio Sample Released

August 11, 2009

An audio sample of the new THEATRE OF TRAGEDY song "Deadland" is available for streaming on the band's official web site. The track comes off the group's seventh album, "Forever Is The World", which is scheduled for release in the U.S. on October 13 (the CD will be issued in Europe on September 18 via AFM Records).

The follow-up to 2006's "Storm", "Forever Is The World" was recorded at Room 13 studios in Oslo with producer Alexander Møklebust, who has previously worked with ZEROMANCER, SEIGMEN, GÅTE, MONOMEN and DELAWARE, among others. The mastering was handled by Bjørn Engelmann at the Cutting Room in Sweden.

"Forever Is The World" will be available in three different versions: a limited digipack with one bonus song, a very limited double vinyl version with two bonus tracks (one exclusive to the vinyl edition!) and a regular jewelcase.

The band says, "[The cover artwork] was once again made by the ingenious artwork wizard Thomas Ewerhard. Following up his excellent work on 'Assembly' and 'Storm', Thomas has once again managed to amaze us with his skills. The album artwork is also an challenge to the die-hard THEATRE OF TRAGEDY fan. Somewhere inside this cover there is incorporated elements from all six studio album covers for the band. See if you can find it."
