Enid part ways with Alboin
Time to say hello once again. Our webmaster has vanished from earth it seems, so I have to cope with updating the site on myself.
The most striking news since we started ENID in 1997: Alboîn has left the band last week. After 7 years and 6 releases he decided to part ways with me and with ENID to concentrate on his band EISMALSOTT (www.eismalsott.de); he told me he was slightly disappointed the way underground music and also ENID had developed through the past few years. With the same breath he told me he would leave, Alboîn also asked me to continue with ENID as he doesn't like to be "responsible for the decline of another great band", as he put it. Isn't it ironic?
What to say... there are no concrete plans for the future of ENID at the moment. I won't have the opportunity of recording an album like "Gradwanderer" once again it seems, due to a lack of appropriate sales rates to pay the studio and keep a label alive for example. Thanks to all the true "fans" out there who downloaded the album instead of buying it. Hopefully you're proud of taking part in the ruin of the underground music scene.
There are some ideas for new ENID songs, and so far it seems they gonna sound a lot like the stuff on the first three releases we did. Somehow it feels a lot like "back to the roots". Nevertheless, I've to wait and see if I'll do it all on my own, with Southie on bass or with session musicians. So far I'd prefer the first option.
Maybe I'd have to find a new label to release the next album on as well. Code666 (despise all the great work they did during the last 3 years) won't be able to keep the standard concerning artwork, budget etc. for the next releases. Sad but true: the most idealistic and honest people earn neither respect or money for their input. I don't do it with a smile but I have to say: if somebody is interested to sign ENID, send a mail to mrt.wiesensound@t-online.de please.
Of course I'll keep you up to date (more or less) with what's happening, but for the time being there's not much more than
A WHISPERING OF GOOD-BYE.
