We have decided to hold the release until next year, and are shooting for a release in March-April... This is because I'm not done yet with the vocals and the guitars. And I feel it wouldn't be completed the right way if we released it now. Also we will put everything we have together in finding ways to make this record a waybreaker for what the band wants to see and have been waiting for, for years. And we need more time for this.
Hope for your understanding.
We will spend this fall on connecting and talking to the right people for finding new (big or small) ways for distribution, marketing, such as the Internet etc. We will also try to go for festivals in Scandinavia and other places next year. We have been doing some "secular" festivals these last 2 years and feel it's time for us to break the ranks and move out on greater areas... And it has been a real blessing and a lot of fun! It feels like we are made for that.
We are at a place of wanting to take NEW steps... And therefore we do not want to waste this record on fast decisions or not well-planned steps.
When we released "Prophet" we did it through 4 different recordcompanies... REX in USA, Pila Music in Germany, Zero in Japan, and Viva Records in Scandinavia... And... They all went bankruptcy within a year... And it totally destroyed the record... It didn't help we had the best reviews we ever had on any record. Still it was kind of "locked" into a box... Therefore we want to have more control over it this time... We will go step by step... Taking risks but not being stupid or pushed.
We are of course giving this to God. Seeking him... He is the real thing - not a religious symbol or an icon or whatever we have made him to be... He is a person talking to us every day, if we just want to listen... And I will not take one single step without him, ever...
I can also tell you it will be done in English. As we see it, this is a follow-up for "Prophet", not saying it sounds like "Prophet".
So we will get back to you all, asking for help. When we are getting closer, we want you to be together with us on this. Actually we need your help hoping you want to give us some... Tell you more about that later.
If you feel like it, give us some respons on the Forum and let us hear from you, knowing you are with us.
Please pray for us...
Love from Ulf... for the band Jerusalem
