Die Band gab bekannt, dass als Resultat daraus und wegen generellen Unstimmigkeiten über die zukünftigen Pläne, Cathrine Paulsen sich entschieden hat, TRAIL OF TEARS zu verlassen. Ein Statement der Band gibt es hier im Anhang:
We would like to inform that after contributing on the last two albums, Kjetil Nordhus of Green Carnation is now officially a fulltime member of Trail of Tears! We are thrilled to announce that Kjetil will be with us both on future recordings and tours. As a result of this and a general disagreement about future plans we are also announcing that Cathrine Paulsen has decided to leave the band. There is no more drama attached to this, we have simply different views about the future of the band. At the moment we are locked up in the studio and will spend the next two-three months making this the best album so far.
