The interesting offer has been postponed ’til next summer - we really, really hope that it will happen then!
P.S. Don’t worry, this won’t affect the timetables related to the album! It’s still coming out in about six or seven months!
Due to a very interesting offer, we have made some minor alterations in our future plans, just in case. The final “main” recording session was moved from January to February, which unfortunately may mean the release date of the forthcoming album is going to be delayed for a month as well.
But don’t worry, folks, the album is still on its way! 
Recording an album is really an interesting process. You can record everything at once, which in our case would take several weeks. So now, after recording many albums in one session, we’ve started to prefer a completely different way of recording an album. It’s fine for us to record the album in several sessions, piece by piece, step by step.
So, the latest piece of news is: we’ve recorded most of the tracks for the first half of the sixth album. Well, in this case “the first half” does not mean “the first five songs on the albums” but more like “about 50% of the songs to be appear on the album”. The rest of the tracks for these songs will be recorded by October, we hope. And the rest of the songs will be recorded in January and February.
Meanwhile, we’re busy writing the rest of the songs. For me, that’s the most interesting part of the whole song-writing process. It’s always an exciting process of exploration and discovery, it’s like going deep into your darkest parts of your mind and trying to dig for some gold. So, the forthcoming months are going to be veeeery interesting.
Tired but happy, that’s what we are. The first recording session is over and the basic tracks have been laid down for several songs. Now, it’s time to catch some breath and after a while, the intensive song-writing process starts again.
Have a great summer, guys and gals, we’ll return in early August when the next recording session takes place!
It’s funny that after all these years, the best sound still comes out of the analogue amps. Yeah, the digital ones are not bad but just… Well, check out the photos.

The album:
It will be released in March 2009:
And so It has started. Eternal Tears of Sorrow are back in the studio. This is the first of the many studio sessions that are going to take place between June and February but in no way this is the least important one. During this session, we’re going to record five sounds out of which three or four are going to end up on the sixth, still unnamed album.
More to come, this is just a mere beginning…
Eternal Tears of Sorrow - New Record Deal!
Finnish melodic death metal band Eternal Tears of Sorrow has signed a new recording deal with KHY Suomen Musiikki Oy, a Finnish label. At the moment, the band is doing pre-production for their sixth album that will be released in March 2009. As with the previous five albums, the album will be recorded at Tico-Tico Studio in Kemi, Finland.
During their fourteen-year-long career, the band has cemented their reputation as one of the finest metal acts, which has already opened doors for the band; it’s still almost a year before the album is going to be released, and it has already been licenced to Massacre Records (who will be release the album in Europe excluding Finland) and Marquee/Avalon (who is going to release the album in Asia).
