Reformed metallers WARRIOR SOUL, featuring legendary frontman Kory Clarke, have issued the following update from guitarist Rille Lundell:

"Hello Ladies & Gentlemen,

There is only a few copies left of Warrior Soul's Chinese Democracy. We will not print another edition, we've accomplished what we wanted and hopefully everyone who wanted a copy of our Chinese Democracy already bought it. If you are very fast and order before the weekend you might be able to lay your hands on a copy. You will still be able to order the new album but it will have a new name and it will look different.

More info on the details will be posted here very soon.

We know that some of you have been waiting a very long time for your pre-ordered CD and we apologize for this. It's the people that ordered their copy from the US before the 2nd of November that have been affected by this. We ran into problems that were out of our control with the mailing of the CD's but the one's that hasn't got their copy yet should have it any day now. Once again, we apologize, thank you for your patience. Thank You for supporting Warrior Soul.

Everyone who ordered from outside the US or after the 2nd of November can expect their CD to arrive before the end of November as promised.

Today we have posted a new track from our new album on MySpace, it's called 'Don't Believe' and hopefully you'll enjoy it. Play it loud!

There is loads of good news coming up for both the band and any fan of Warrior Soul in the next year. 2008 was a great year with a new album, great tours and even greater fans. But we did go through a lot of bullshit as well after being swindled by our so called management and the people involved in it. Real friends of Warrior Soul stepped up and saved the band to make the US tour possible. We are very grateful and hopefully we can return the favour some day. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you (You know who your are.).

Also a big thank you to our friends in SHRAM, a band consisting of 3 great dudes (plus Mr Hartless Sr. of course…) delivering great rock and great musicianship. http://www.shramband.com/

The Stoned – The best of Friends and partners in the weirdest crimes (Just go see for yourself. I wouldn't try to explain this spaceship in words.)! http://www.thestoned.net/

All the other bands, venues, promoters, bar staff and sound engineers we've met and that didn't suck, thank you!

And to all the American Warrior Soul fans, we did this tour for You and You only. Hopefully You enjoyed it, thanks for coming out to the shows!

We will see some of you very soon in the UK. This will be the last couple of shows of the year and you can expect every single one to be special with a mix of new songs and tons of old classics. We will play as loud and hard as ever before (If you don't see blood on my guitar… ask your money back!). To everyone who can not make it to the UK, don't worry, Warrior Soul will hit the roads again in 2009."
