Finnish melodic death metal band
Eternal Tears Of Sorrow has finished recording a new single and is now waiting for it to be mixed and mastered. According to the band, "The name of the single will be revealed later as well as the names of the songs on it. Let's just say we haven't recorded any cover songs this year and probably won't be recording any of those next year either."
Eternal Tears Of Sorrow recently inked a new deal with the Finnish label
Khy Suomen Musiikki Oy. The group is currently recording its sixth album, which is tentatively expected in April 2009. As was the case with the band's previous five LPs, the forthcoming effort is being recorded at
Tico-Tico Studio in Kemi, Finland. The as-yet-untitled Cd has already been licenced to
Massacre Records (which will be release the album in Europe excluding Finland) and
Marquee/
Avalon (which will make the record available in Asia).
