LEAVES' EYES — the German/Norwegian band formed by ex-THEATRE OF TRAGEDY singer Liv Kristine Espenaes Krull and members of ATROCITY — has entered Mastersound Studio in Germany to begin recording its new album for a tentative late 2010/early 2011 release.

Commented drummer Roland Navratil: "It's done! After the European tour and a lot of festival shows, the drum recordings for the upcoming LEAVES' EYES record are done. Only the percussions and big drums are left to record.

"We had a lot of fun in the studio and the drums sound killer!

"There are new fresh elements and influences in the songs. It will be a very versatile album and I am sure you will like it as much as I do!"

On May 21, LEAVES' EYES released a "special fan edition" of its latest album, "Njord", in Germany, Austria and Switzerland containing three previously unreleased tracks — "At Heaven's End", "Angus and the Swan" and an acoustic version of "Irish Rain". The set also features an appearance by Liv's sister, Carmen Elise Espenaes from MIDNATTSOL, as a guest vocalist on "Irish Rain". The special fan edition comes with a noble matt and glossy foil printed slipcase, which is strictly limited.

The "special fan edition" of "Njord" consists of the "Njord" digipack, including two bonus tracks, as well as the brand new bonus CD "At Heaven's End", which contains seven non-album tracks, and the "My Destiny" video.
