Hello everyone. On behalf of myself (Kenn) and the rest of the band, we want to thank Oliver for inviting us to KIT XIII and all of you you for the positive comments. We are looking forward to playing the festival next April.
As for the t-shirts, someone in England asked my permission to do a small run of shirts for his online shop several months ago and I agreed (in fact I made the design). This was before we were scheduled to play the festival (and before we were even playing together again). At the time I had no interest in making or selling shirts myself, but we will definitely have some shirts available at the show next Spring.
In addition to rehearsing for KIT, we are also well into re-recording Suffering Hour and Reason in their entirety with the original line-up from those albums. I know some of you like the old material "as is", but we as a band were never happy with the way they turned out (in spite of the material) and have always hoped for a chance to "do it right". With the return of our original drummer for the KIT show, we felt this was the best time to do it. The studio master tapes for both of those albums are lost forever so there is no chance of remixing the original versions. It is uncertain whether we will release these new versions as 2-disc sets containing the old and new together or a single double-CD with both re-recorded albums. Either way the old versions will still be available for free through the band's website. Whichever format we do decide on, we should have these available at KIT XIII as well.
Looking forward to playing for you all...
Kenn
