New Tristania Album Delayed, European Tour Cancelled

Tristania have posted the following update at their official website:

"The release of Illumination is, unfortunately, postponed slightly due to technical reasons. We regret this delay, as we are as impatient as you are to get the album released. Hopefully, our fans will understand that this is something that is outside our control. We will return with a new release date as soon as we know what this will be – and samples from Illumination will be published online in the near future.

The September tour is cancelled due to outside issues. Vibeke will be finishing her education as a teacher, in addition to which she will be working as a teacher while studying. Thus, this makes it difficult for her to do long tours at the moment. Finishing off her education is something she has postponed for a long time due to her duties with Tristania – and she feels it is finally time to do it. We, as a band, are sorry for this cancellation, but promise to return in force when the new album is released."

Tristania will however be headlining the Metal Female Voices Fest 4 in Wieze, Belgium on the 21st of October. Other bands playing include Theatre of Tragedy, Lullacry, Midnattsol, Forever Slave, Xandria, Sengir, Visions of Atlantis, Skeptical Minds, Naio Ssaion, The Legion of Hetheria, Anachronia, Theatres Des Vampires and Macbeth.
