TODIEFOR: 'We Just Need A Break'

Finnish gothic metal band TO/DIE/FOR has posted another message on its MySpace page clarifying its previous statement that "we really do not know what will happen for us then. . . maybe we will release sixth album someday, maybe we don't." The new message reads as follows:

"Now we are back in Finland and I noticed here is a lot of worried people. Calm down, please — we are not gonna kill TO/DIE/FOR. Now we just need a break and we are hunting some inspiration… something new into our little thing called TO/DIE/FOR.

"'Anything can happen' does not mean exactly we are goona stop making music.
But still situation is that we do not know anything about anything… All we know is that we love to make music, we love to travel and make shows…"

TO/DIE/FOR's fifth album, "Wounds Wide Open", was released in Finland in October 2006. The follow-up to 2005's "IV", "Wounds Wide Open" was recorded by Samu Oittinen at Fantom Studios and by Jari-Jukka Nippala at Sonic Image, and was mixed at Sweden's Abyss Studios by Peter Tägtgren (DIMMU BORGIR, CELTIC FROST).

Nuclear Blast earlier in the year reissued TO/DIE/FOR's "All Eternity" (2000) and "Epilogue" (2001) albums as a double-CD package. The cover art can be viewed at this location.
