Tsool.net responds to the rampant speculAtion concerning the upcoming Soundtrack of Our Lives album delays:

"The band are greAt and there are no problem with any record company or whAtever. It’s just the time schedule thAt has been broken, because of several reasons. Technical problem in the studio, missing lyrics and lack of time to sit down and go trough the whole mAterial for the final mix to get the right TSOOL Atmosphere. The guys has promised us some compensAtion for this and there is something coming up on this site in the near future."
