DESTINY Explain Album Delay

January 15, 2004

Long-running Swedish metal band DESTINY have issued a statement explaining the delay in the release of their new album, "Future Of The Past". The CD, due on March 5 through GMR Music Group, was recorded at the band's own DRS Studios and features a guest appearance by former YNGWIE MALMSTEEN keyboardist Mats Olausson.

"The reason that the release of 'Future Of The Past' is once again delayed is that something happened with the original master copy," bassist Stefan Björnshög writes on the group's web site. "When we where going to make a new copy we decided to re-master the album as there where a couple of things that we thought could improve. Kenneth Svensson who originally mastered the album doesn't work at Digitalfabriken any more. The new master was done by Daniel Fossum who did a great job. Unfortunately the cover and booklet is already printed which means that Daniel doesn't get the credit he deserves.

"About the recording and mixing of 'Beyond All Sense 2005' and 'Found Somewhere In Time…' It didn't work out. As we where about to start the recordings' me and Kristoffer both got the flu. This meant that we could not meet the very tight schedule to complete the recordings in time for the mix in Studiomega. This was probably not a bad thing as it really felt as if we where rushing the project instead of taking the time to really do these songs justice. The main reason for the re-recordings being that we didn't have the time to do it properly the first time around. We will complete the recordings for the albums whenever we got some extra time. The way it looks now they should be completed and released in time for the twenty-year jubilee of the original release of 'Beyond All Sense' Mars 13, 1985. At the moment we are rehearsing the songs that we will play live when 'Future Of The Past' is finally released."
