Message from Peter Tägtgren on the official PAIN website :
« What the hell is going on?! Well… It’s been a while since the last update and we thought it was about time to let you in on a couple of things.
« The last couple of months every one of us has been pretty busy with anything but PAIN. As you may know, Peter has been concentrating on
HYPOCRISY this year and recently came home from a successful tour in South America. David [Wallin, drums], who just got signed up with
Zildjian, is working for Unique Pyrotechnic along with doing a lot of different stand-in club shows in Sweden. Johan
[Husgafvel, bass] became a dad in August [mother is his girlfriend, NIGHTWISH singer Anette Olzon. — Ed.] (best wishes from us all), and the
more time spent away from PAIN means the more time spent with his family. Michael [Bohlin, guitar] is working with different side projects along
with his work for Digidesign.
« Now, the following months will be dedicated to PAIN and to finish the new songs. Up ’till today eight songs are more or less ready to go, and at least three or four more are
needed before we can start recording. Our plans are to start the recordings in late 2010 or early 2011, and have the album ready for a worldwide release sometime in May 2011. After that, we’re
about to hit the road and do as many of the summer festivals as we can. Of course, there will be a headline tour as well, and if everything works out we’ll even break new grounds. Work has also
begun with designing a new stage set that will be something out of the average.
« As you may understand we’re more eager than ever to record this album, make it the best, and play it for you live. So stay tuned and visit our websites for continuous information, studio
reports, album details, and the first show dates for 2011. »
