THEATRE OF TRAGEDY: 'The Rumors Of Our Demise Are Highly Exaggerated'

April 6, 2007

Drummer Hein Frode Hansen of the Norwegian female-fronted band THEATRE OF TRAGEDY has issued the following update via the band's official web site:

"Some of you might have noticed that the website was down, some didn't.
The rumours of our demise are highly exaggerated we just forgot to pay the webhosting bill and one thing turned into another and the site was shut down. So fortunate for some we are still here. Unfortunate for some as well.

"Many have mailed the band and asked what is going on these days. Let's try to sum up some of the things. Being in a band for as long as we have takes more time and effort than people might imagine. Not millionaires yet (not even Raymond [Istvàn Rohonyi]) and still have to work for a living makes the actors in the THEATRE tired after a long day of being slaves to the grind (yes, we know it is a SKID ROW song). And with a few studies and family expansions things are taking even longer.

"Even so the work has started on a new album. There are some ideas that were lying around since 'Storm' and there are some new ones as well. Nobody knows what things might sound like in the end. Too early for that. When the album will be recorded is a mystery for all.

"There will be some shows from July and on but nothing is finalized yet. Apart from a full hour-and-half-show in Romania. More details later.

"So keep spinning 'Storm' and for those that didn't get it yet: GET IT! It won't be four more years for the next. And it is a damn good album!

"By the way, Nell has contributed some vocals on 'The Mundane and the Magic' on the forthcoming DARK TRANQUILITY album. Or maybe it is out already. Who knows."

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 is the group's first to feature singer Nell (THE CREST),who replaced Liv Kristine Espenaes Krull (currently in LEAVES' EYES) in early 2004.
