Trail Of Tears - Guitarist Leaves The Band
Trail Of Tears guitarist Pål Olsen has parted ways with the band after three years of service. The band issued the following statement:
"Our guitarist, party-hat chief and beer drinker extraordinaire, Paul, has informed the rest of us that he is leaving the band. His decision is based on lack of time and a general wish to concentrate on the band that he co-founded, Guardians Of Time. We think it sucks to lose a talented guitarist as well as a genuinely great guy but this decision is probably for the best both for Paul, as well as for the band and we absolutely respect it and wish Paul much luck and happiness in the times to come. Trail of Tears will not bring a new member into the family as we are very much content with how the situation is at the moment and so the band will continue as a 5-piece.
We also want to make it perfectly clear that this will not affect the upcoming festivals and shows, nor will it affect the writing and pre-production work for the next album, a process that we are well underway with."
Here are a few words from Paul: "Due to my commitment to Guardians Of Time, I can no longer give 100% of myself to Trail of Tears. Anything less than 100% feels wrong for me when it comes to such a great band, and I see no other option than to leave the band. My time in Trail of Tears has been a great run. I have been lucky enough to contribute to one of the band's best albums, Bloodstained Endurance, and we have played a lot of great shows together. My last gig with Trail of Tears at Metal Camp in Slovenia a few weeks ago was a good ending for me. We part ways as good friends, and I wish them the best of luck in the future."

Trail Of Tears - To Enter Studio In November
Original news, posted on 07.08.2008
Trail Of Tears have posted the following update:
"It is with great pleasure that we announce that Trail of Tears will enter Soundsuite Studio in Marseille, France with acclaimed producer Terje Refsnes on November 3rd 2008 to start recording our sixth studio album! The band expects to spend six weeks tracking the yet untitled effort which will be released worldwide on Napalm Records in early 2009.
Comments vocalist Ronny Thorsen:
"We are beyond stoked to enter the studio again at Soundsuite with our fellow Norwegian Terje Refsnes. This will be our third album recording in beautiful Marseille and we are boiling over with creativity and excitement! So far we have about 14 songs ready, with an additional four or five on the drawing board. It will be a difficult challenge to figure out which ones will end up on the final product but definitely something we look forward to."
Due to the preparations, the band has also decided to postpone the planned South American tour in September/October.
Vocalist Ronny Thorsen said:
"We hope that everyone will understand and support this decision as it is the only right one for the circumstances. We want to deliver a full production and a killer live experience when we finally come to South America and not some amputated half-assed shows. It is a known fact that it takes a considerable amount of time to organise such a tour in South America as opposed to Europe, not to mention finding the right promoters. Our main priority now is to set our minds 100% into making this album as astonishing as it has to be and therefore we see no other alternative than to postpone the tour. Please note that we are using the word postpone here, we WILL reach your shores after the new album is released to give you a show that you as well as the band deserves!"
UPDATE (thanks to Abattoir)
As previously announced, Trail Of Tears will be recording a new album. Here is the latest news from the band:
"The studio session for our new album has officially started in Sound Suite Studio in Marseille, France! We will spend six weeks in the company of producer Terje Refsnes recording this, our 6th album and we are really stoked about the material at hand. The plan is to record 16-17 songs in which we will pick 11 or 12 to be featured on the final product. There will also be a limited edition of the album which will include bonus tracks as well as different packaging. Mastering duties will as usual be handled by Mika Jussila at Finnvox Studios in Finland and the album will see a world-wide release next year through Napalm Records."

Trail Of Tears - Frontman: 'This Is Not The End!'
With the imminent release of Existentia on January 30th, 2007 in North America, Napalm recording artists Trail Of Tears are in a bit of a quandary, and much speculation has ensued. Therefore, founding vocalist Ronny Thorsen has released this official statement:
"Dear all,
The following lines are written in the attempt of clarifying the news that have been circulating in the past few days. There is really no easy way of telling this, so I will try to explain to the best of my ability.
On the 26th of November, Trail Of Tears completed a 10-date tour of Mexico, a tour which was in large part ridden with organisational problems and resulted in a severe financial loss for everyone involved. As a result of this, I was called to the band hotel on the morning of November 28th, asking for a meeting by the remaining members. Arriving to the hotel, I am instead given a message, lasting a mere two minutes, that because of the situation they have decided to end the band effective immidiately. The decision has been made entirely without my consultation and approval, and thus Trail of Tears is NOT dead and will continue in a new shape and formation.
Needless to say, I am very disappointed by the decision and the way that this has been handled by the leaving members. I have tried my very best best reasoning with them, stressing that the timing could not be worse and that in fact they are violating future obligations with a decision made in a moment of frustration in the aftermath of this tour. I have even offered to cover the several-thousand-euros financial loss out of my own pocket in order for them not to worry about paying their bills and so that we can focus on our already-agreed obligations towards label, tour organisors and the countless people involved. This was not accepted; however, they made sure of giving me all their account numbers before running back to Norway.
I am truly ashamed by the lack of insight, understanding, and responsability the leaving members have portrayed with this decision, with absolute disregard to the fans who have bought tickets for the upcoming tour, which we now have to cancel, and to all the parties involved who have invested a large amount of work and money in the upcoming release, Existentia. The decision to leave a band is an individual choice and I respect that to the fullest, but it does under no circumstances justify the leaving members violating obligations and making decisions for others, going public with something that has not been approved.

Trail Of Tears - Now Recording New Material
Hello people!
As of today, Saturday 24th June, the recording of the new album 'Existentia' is officially underway! Jonathan and Runar are currently finding themselves poolside in sunny and beautiful Marseille, more spesifically in Soundsuite Studio with producer Terje Refsnes in charge!
We will start tracking the drums this weekend, followed by the guitars. Ronny and Kjell will join shortly and will be accompanied by multi-musician wizard Bernt Moen, who will be in charge of orchestrations and choirs for the album. You are all in for one hell of a treat in that department!
We are very confident about the songs we carry with us! There will be 10 songs featured on the end result, with possible bonus material for certain territories, limited editions and so on. The material is as always diverse and heavy, though we feel that this is by far the catchiest stuff we have ever written. Can't wait to pack it all into a suitable production and share the result with all of you guys and girls out there!
Keep checking back for studio updates with comments and photos as the recording progresses. Cheers!
As of today, Saturday 24th June, the recording of the new album 'Existentia' is officially underway! Jonathan and Runar are currently finding themselves poolside in sunny and beautiful Marseille, more spesifically in Soundsuite Studio with producer Terje Refsnes in charge!
We will start tracking the drums this weekend, followed by the guitars. Ronny and Kjell will join shortly and will be accompanied by multi-musician wizard Bernt Moen, who will be in charge of orchestrations and choirs for the album. You are all in for one hell of a treat in that department!
