Dear fans

We have some sad news: Rob, our bass player for many years, has decided to leave the band. While we are saddened by the news, we rejoice in the many wonderful years he has spent with us, and of course wish him all the best. Here is a letter from Rob explaining his decision:

"It is with great regret that I let everyone know that I am leaving EYEFEAR due to personal reasons. I have been with EYEFEAR so long now that it's not like leaving a band, it’s more like leaving a family. My brothers who hit the stage with me when we play and all our cousins, being all the fans that have supported us and said such kind words about us, all the way to our parents in Management at Intromental. It has been very hard on me coming to this decision and I'd like to thank my wife and kids who have especially helped me through this. I wish the boys all the best in the future and can’t wait to see the boys live, although I will be strongly feeling as though I am on the wrong side of the stage.

Rob"

We will miss Rob, but obviously we have to move on, which of course involves looking for a new bassist. Any interested parties should contact us for an audition.

Hey there

Just a quick update on the progress of our next album. All drums are now finished, and we are fast approaching the end of recording at Sammy's studio. Once finished, the tracks will be mixed and mastered at Jailhouse Studios by Tommy Hansen (www.jailhouse.dk). There are 8 tracks on the new CD, and we have a couple of song titles decided on, those being "Always Reasons" and "Bridge to the Passed" (which is Pt 5 to "While The World Sleeps").  More news very soon! Take care.

Hi all!

We've got a new forum up, so check it out at:

http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/eyefear-480/

Also, we are currently finishing off writing new songs for our next album, and will begin recording late March/early April.  We will be unveiling the title, tracklisting, who will be mixing, doing the cover artwork, and release dates in the next few weeks.

Lastly, we apologise for the constant spamming of our guestbook, but wish to assure those who have complained about it that this is something totally out of our control (blame those who launch their spambots!)! Our webmaster cleans out the junk regularly, but with 40 or more fake entries per day, coming in at varied times, he can never be totally on top of it. Rest assured that, as it says at the top of the guestbook page, the spam will be cleared away from your entries, so feel free to post. For those just wanting to look at the real entries, it follows that all you have to do is scroll down below all the junk, and below those all entries will be from fans, not spambots.

We'd like to thank everybody for their support at both the US fest and the Evergrey shows.

Hey everyone

First off, we have to say THANKS for the huge show of support we got from fans old and new at the Blind Guardian concerts last weekend! It was certainly a great experience, and we've already heard from a bunch of new followers since the event, so it's smiles all round. We're sure our next international support slot with Everygrey on their "Darkness Across Australia" tour will be just as much fun. Dates are Friday 11th May (The Gaelic Club, Sydney) and Saturday 12th May (The HiFi Bar; Melbourne).

The week before the Everygrey gigs we'll actually be playing in San Francisco at the first annual "Bay Area Rock Fest" with a bunch of great international acts. For those of you who heard about this on our interview on "Screaming Symphony" (3PBS-FM), the bill has changed somewhat since then (as does happen!), so Angra are no longer headlining, but other great bands have been added. May is certainly going to be a busy month, so we hope to catch you at some of these gigs!

Sunday 6th August, 2006

Greetings!

We'd like to send a big THANKS! to all those who attended our gig with Lord in Sydney last weekend! The place was packed out with 220 crazy Sydneysiders who gave us as much of a show as we gave them... talk about "audience participation"! We had such a great night, and we'd really like to thank all involved, most especially the crowd for giving us such a HUGE welcome on our second trip up north. We already can't wait to get back up there!

Now, we also have some news, being the track listing for the new album. The song titles (in order) for "A World Full Of Grey" are:

Searching For Forgiveness 

A World Full Of Grey

Changes

Lost Within

While The World Sleeps

(Part 3)  Moments

(Part 4) The Eyes Tell No Lies

Whispers Of The Soul

Haunted Memories

Breathe Again

Secondly, we will begin mixing on the 28th August at Los Angered Studios with Andy La Rocque again. The album is already sounding awesome (if we may say so ourselves), so we can't wait till Andy's done with it!

Hope to have some more news for you soon. Take care!

Hey everyone

First off, we are heading to Sydney late next month to play at the Metal Evilution birthday bash. Featuring ourselves, Lord, This Tangled Web, and Chapel, it will be on Saturday 29th July at The Empire Hotel, cnr Parramatta & and Johnston Rds, Annandale. It will be great to play up north again, so we can't wait (note that we're playing at the same place exactly one year since last time!). Hope to catch you there!

Lastly, we would like to thank Dean Markley for endorsing Con! Any of you out there who play guitar know strings aren't that cheap, so Con is rapt to have a ready supply of the world's greatest strings!

Greetings everyone,

Apologies for not posting any news etc on our web site, our forum, or even on MySpace. There is a reason of course. We are very close to completing our new CD, "A World Full Of Grey". All our energies and time have been dedicated to this CD, and we are very confident it will turn a lot of heads.

In the next couple of weeks we will be unleashing a heap of news around the world which will include the full track listing, some very special guest musicians (and a whole heap of other news relating the new CD), a release date for our Asian version of "9 Elements Of Inner Vision" (which contains an exclusive bonus track), and of course some info on gigs we are currently booking which will include SYDNEY.

Hopefully we will be able to give you a quick look at the new cover art work which is also completed. It was once again done by the ever brilliant Mattias Norén (Evergrey, Kamelot, Pyramaze, just to name a few). That will depend on management and record labels though.

Lastly, we'd really like to thank everyone for their e-mails that have been really supportive. THE WAIT IS NEARLY OVER!!!!!!!

Sunday 19th February, 2006

EYEFEAR would like to pay homage to a great supporter of the Melbourne metal scene who passed away recently: Jeff Rule. He worked tirelessly to promote and encourage Melbourne's young bands, organised many great gigs, and was a metal evangelist on public radio for 15 years. Most would remember him as the host of the diverse and often hilarious radio show "The Red Stink Of Metal", which used to be on before "Screaming Symphony" on 3PBS-FM. Even through the last few months of his failing health he still gave what he could, and still went out to support local bands. In fact, the last gig we played at The Espy was one of the last he ever went to. He died on his birthday, the 6th of February, at the age of 51. He will be greatly missed!!

EYEFEAR

Wednesday 11th January, 2006

Greetings, and many thanks to those who made it to The Espy on Friday night to catch us helping out good friends Enter Twilight on their CD launch! It was a great night, and we got a fantastic response to our new songs, especially "Whispers Of The Soul" (which is already becoming a crowd favourite!).

Just a couple of bits of news to start of the year:

We will begin recording our next album, A WORLD FULL OF GREY, this weekend at Sammy's studio (Peak Time Productions). Also we have an EYEFEAR page on www.myspace.com/eyefear so check it out!
