New Single Likely a Hoax
Well, a little more info has come out about the email sent to The Gauntlet that makes it more likely that the news of a new single named Verbot is indeed a hoax. This is why I usually wait for official word before posting news. :p

New Single Info
I'll start off with this warning: this may not be accurate information! However, the source of the info has been accurate in the past and it seems like how he received the information is legitimate. Once management confirms it (or denies it), I will post that info on the website. With that said...
An article posted on TheGauntlet.com states that the first single from the new album will be released on May 8, 2009 (that's a Friday, when music is usually released in Germany) and the name of the single will be "Verbot" (probably meaning "Ban" in English, depending on the context that it's used). The video was partially shot in Sonoma, California (not too far from San Francisco where the recording took place) and the post-production will take place next month in Berlin. The Gauntlet also received what might be the cover art of the single, assuming this news is legitimate.

Newsletter
I've been sending out newsletters for at least the last four or five news entries on the site. I'm not sure if they're being sent to everyone, so if you are not getting them AND you have me added to your safelist of senders (so that the email isn't being sent to your spam box), please use the contact form in the about me section to let me know.

New Album News
According to an update on the official site, the band is putting the final touches on the songs and are even considering using some string instruments and / or a choir. They've spoken to Sven Helbig who they have already collaborated with on Reise, Reise and Rosenrot. Following the tweaking of the music and lyrics, the album will be mixed starting in mid-March and should take 6-8 weeks. Following mixing will probably be mastering and all of the other stuff that goes into making an album, including promotion, artwork, etc. It still seems like the album won't be out until the fall.
