Dear Friends and Fans,

We just finished our European tour with Arch Enemy, Mercenary and Sister Sin, which we played with our new line-up for the first time. We're really feeling like a unity, having a great time on the road although we had to go through some technical problems here and there. It was very nice to meet our fans and friends again!

One of the finest moments on this tour was playing with Doro, celebrating her 25th anniversary together with 8.000 fans and other bands and musicians (see picture with Liv, Tarja, Floor, Sabina, Ji-In and Girlschool). We also played at the 25th anniversary of Germany's first Metal temple, the Rockfabrik Ludwigsburg, situated in our hometown. This was a very special night for everybody.

2008 has been a quite turbulent year for us, finding two new members, producing our first DVD "We Came With The Northern Winds / En Saga I Belgia" and our third full-length album. As the recordings progressed, we decided to name the album "Njord". It has a strong connection to Nordic Mythology and history. The sound is truly massive, moreover, we have raised our own musical style to a new level. We are looking forward to both releases in the up-coming year: 27.2. the Double DVD and including Double Live CD "We Came With The Northern Winds / En Saga I Belgia" will be released, and soon after around spring-time the album "Njord" will be out. 2009 will be a year of many exciting, important and positive happenings for both Leaves' Eyes and our wonderful fans. We will see you on tour!

Yours truly,

Leaves Eyes

I'm currently at Mastersound Studio in Germany tracking the drums for the new Leaves' Eyes record! These songs have a great epic vibe. I feel like I'm really expending as a musician!"

Dear Fans & Friends,

we are terribly sorry to tell you that our record label has decided to cancel our upcoming North-American tour. This is due to the fact that the release of our first DVD has been postponed. We really regret this. Moreover, we've tried everything possible to save the tour, however, we now have to face the fact that we cannot change the situation. We wish Amorphis, Samael and Virgin Black all the best for the tour, and we hope to be back in the States and Canada in 2009.

Besides, Alex Holzwarth, who currently plays in Rhapsody Of Fire and Sieges Even, is the machine behind the drumkit. Miss this show by no means!"

Leaves' Eyes and Atrocity have issued the following update:

Atrocity and Leaves' Eyes are sorry to inform you that Nick Barker cannot continue to play with the bands due to a drastic change in his private life. The bands wish Nick all the best in his future life and we hope that he will feel better very soon! Drummer Peter Hornung stepped into the breach for Nick at short notice for the shows at the Gottlieb Daimler Stadium and Rockmania Festival, so that the band was able to play the shows.

In other news, both bands have also stated that the already planned tour in China and Taiwan unfortunately had to be postponed until further notice. It hopefully will take place in autumn this year. Both bands are deeply touched by the momentary situation in the disaster areas and feel deep sympathy for all the people involved.

Bassist Chris Lukhaup and drummer Moritz Neuner have parted ways with the band. The following was posted on Leaves' Eyes website:

Leaves' Eyes played their last show of the year together with Blind Guardian and Astral Doors in the Krefeld Hockeystadium in front of 3.000 people. Moreover, this was the final concert of Leaves' Eyes with bass player Chris Lukhaup and drummer Moritz Neuner; Chris Lukhaup had to leave the band due to personal reasons and Moritz Neuner is taking another turn in his working career. The band wishes them both all the best in the future. At the moment Leaves' Eyes are checking out new musicians - if you are interested and a killer bassist or drummer, please contact info@mastersoundentertainment.de

Liv also wrote an update on the band's activity and some personal news on Leaves' Eyes myspace page:

"Dear Friends & Fans,

It's already a week since we played our last show for this year in Krefeld, Germany, with Blind Guardian, and now we're back in the studio, composing songs for our third album. It was very, very nice to meet "the Guardians" again as we became close friends at our North-American tour earlier this year. Unfortunately I was feverish, struggling with the flu, however pain-killers are good in such a situation. The show has to go on, and yes, it was a good one.

Surprise: my sister Carmen Elise is having her vocals recorded for the next Midnattsol album. It's good to have my sister around at our studio.

Today my son and I been busy packing 17 boxes of clothes and toys which will be sent to children living on the streets or in children's homes in Romania. If you can help somebody in any possible way - do it, and share your luck, love, fortune and happiness with other people!

Here's some love from me to you, Liv"
