Hnnng.
Please keep in mind that *the band has no management company*. Nearly everything is done by Diamond Entertainment, or King, Ole Bang, and Andy. They all work behind the scenes non-stop.
Hah, if only the ONLY job they had to do was to play, record, and enjoy creating music!!!
For example... This means it's these 3 guys who work with our booking agents to set up entire tours.
We have done 3 tours within a single year. This requires immense and very long planning and work periods. Setting up a tour is no joke.
Next to this, we are also the ones designing and/or approving every single merch design, every single ad and commercial you see. Also, the planning, recording, going through, approving, working on, etc. of the DVD.
And there are so many more things moving in the background that no one sees but creates tons of work every day.
So there is a reason we ask fans to have patience. We are working our asses off non-stop.
Yes, there will be a new album, no, there was not an entire new album deleted because it was not good enough, and yes, the guys are really ready and psyched about working on new material (and yes, Metal Blade is super psyched as well, they are not asking to hold back anything!)!
Doing so many things at once, stuff takes time.
It will be written, it will be recorded, it will be mixed, mastered, and released. It will be done.
And it will be AWESOME.
