TRAIL OF TEARS Explain Album Delay

October 16, 2004

Norway's TRAIL OF TEARS have posted the following message on their official web site:

"After a torturous and extremely challenging studio experience we are now happy to tell you all that the album has been completed! Being struck by everything from illness to complete and utter computer crashes we sit back with a feeling of total satisfaction of what we have accomplished.

"The album has been delayed several times and frustration has run high more than once but we have concequently refused to release a product which we don't regard good enough both for ourselves and our amazing fans. That's why we have chosen to re-record several parts which we didn't see regard with 100% satisfaction and after the computer crash we had to restore all the lost files which took weeks, weeks and more weeks.

"We feel that this being our 4th album we, and the fans are entitled to a truly great and astonishing product and we want to thank everybody fpr being so patient, supporting and understanding! It will definitely be worth the wait!"
