In related news, Mike has forwarded the following message to the readers. "I would like to thank all of you for your patience regarding the PAINMUSEUM album. The road in finding this music a home that has the understanding and promotional support this record deserves has not been an easy one. The great news is that you will all know the exact worldwide release date of this album very shortly. We believe that at this time we have found the partners that will allow the PAINMUSEUM vision to shine. At this time I can confirm that you will get both: a release date and a tour this Autumn. In the mean time, you can check out the sound samples from the album at painmuseum.com."

The PAINMUSEUM album was produced by Metal Mike and mixed by Roy Z. (JUDAS PRIEST, BRUCE DICKINSON, HALFORD). The lineup is: Bobby Jarzombek (ICED EARTH, HALFORD) on drums, Steve DiGiorgio (TESTAMENT, SADUS, DEATH) on bass, and Tim Clayborne (HATRED) on vocals, with additional help from Joe Comeau (OVERKILL, ANNIHILATOR).
