I'm really bummed, we were getting ready... and I guess we won't be there for a while, probably 'till we finish recording our next CD. well, gives us more time to really focus on the new album... Sorry guys."

Catamenia - Member Leaves After Russian Tour
Token from the Catamenia newsletter:
"To prevent the annoying speculations of how things went in European Tour and why Tero is not anymore in the band, we decided to make an official statement regarding the situation.
When finishing the Russian Tour, Tero informed at the train station of St. Petersburg he won't continue to the European Tour with us, but he'll go back to Moscow. We do not know the exact reason for this, but we have seen how things turned out - he simply followed our Russian promoter there. Thank you for these years and good luck in the future, Tero.
European Tour - Managers from ProMusic Productions/Romania were totally rip-offs and did not care about bands at all from the start.
They broke every paragraph in the contract, but still we continued the tour for the sake of the fans and local promoters. Managers did not provide us decent breakfasts, meals and not even water. We had to sleep in a really small bus, one night spent in parking lot in Switzerland when waiting another bus to come cause the previous one broke down near Milan. After the last show we went to Budapest where there should have been hotel provided from 24th to 27th of October as agreed, but guess what - NO! They just left us there, broke the promise and contract so we had to pay everything ourselves.
Thank you really much fans, local promoters and Winterhorde. You kept us going on and you're the reason why we did not cancel the tour! Fuck off Nelu and Dana from ProMusic Prod!"

Enter My Silence - Albums Available For Streaming
Finnish melodic death metal band Enter My Silence have placed both of their acclaimed career full lenghts "Remotecontrolled Scythe" (2001) and "Coordinate: D1SA5T3R" (Feb. 2006) available as free streaming audio on their MySpace-site http://www.myspace.com/entermysilence!
Their music is a powerful mixture of melodicism and feel of e.g. early In Flames & Sentenced, the drive and aggression of the likes of Pantera & Machine Head, progressive elements and furious vocal work of Mika Lisitzin.
The band is currently on the lookout for a new label to work with in the future. Finnish label that released "Coordinate: D1SA5T3R" suffered some major setbacks and the (continuing) uncertainty of the situation forced Enter Mys Silence to break loose from the contract.
