THEATRE OF TRAGEDY To Resume Recording New Album In February/March

December 23, 2008

Norway's THEATRE OF TRAGEDY has issued the following update:

"Another year has passed and not much has happened publicly with the band. Rest assured, we haven't just been lazy (well, a bit of that too). The year has mainly been spent writing and rehearsing the new material for the upcoming seventh THEATRE OF TRAGEDY album.

"So far, 12 songs are done and 10 of those will make it to the album. As usual, we are nowhere near a title for the album, not even a songtitle is ready, but it will come.

"The drums have been recorded together with a really nice guy called Alexander Nyhus and now we are waiting for our producer to finish up his current project with some elderly pop legends. Recordings are planned for February and March so a release date should be either June or August, depending on what AFM Records want to do.

"Erik Ljunggren will be handling the production side of things. We are very pleased about working with him again. He knows the band very well and is a wizard when it comes to sound. He has turned the knobs for THE KOVENANT, Kari Rueslåtten, A-HA, SEIGMEN, ZEROMANCER, SATYRICON. But for us he will alway be the mastermind of the legendary industrial metal band VAMPIRE STATE BUILDING. We even played support for VSB in our early beginnings of 1995. Time goes by fast."

THEATRE OF TRAGEDY recently posted a couple of new demo clips on the band's MySpace page.

THEATRE OF TRAGEDY's latest album, "Storm", was released in March 2006 via AFM Records. The CD was produced by Rico Darum and mixed by Greg Reely (PARADISE LOST, FEAR FACTORY, FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY, SKINNY PUPPY, etc.) at The Green Jacket studios in Richmond, B.C., Canada. The album was the group's first to feature singer Nell (THE CREST),who replaced Liv Kristine Espenaes Krull (currently in LEAVES' EYES) in early 2004.
