FRAMESHIFT mastermind Henning Pauly has issued an update on the next Frameshift record, currently going under the working title The God Delusion:

"The search is finally over.

First of all, I am amazed at how many people sent me their stuff and even more at how many went through the trouble of writing and recording vocals for the test song I supplied. I heard some awesome singers and although some of them were phenomenal, they still didn't get chosen. They might ask themselves why. The only way I can say it is that I was looking for something different. I have worked with great metal vocalists some of the ones that applied are "on par" with LaBrie (James - DREAM THEATER), Bach (Sebastian) and Roos, but since I have already worked with that type of vocal performance, I would like to go in a slightly different direction.

So, let me thank everyone at this point and please don't be too disappointed because there will be other projects and I now have a great list of vocalists to chose from.

I would also like to thank Duncan Glenday from the prog site Sea Of Tranquility who got me in touch with a lot of interesting candidates.

In the end I found what I was looking for. I actually found a bit too much. I ended up with two vocalists and I could not make up my mind. So, we are embarking on a project that has not been done before. I will not go into detail on HOW the two vocalists will share their duties, but I can say that it will be very interesting and powerful.

And here they are: Magali Luyten from Belgium (VIRUS IV, BEAUTIFUL SIN, AYREON) and Dan Swanö from Sweden (NIGHTINGALE, ex-EDGE OF SANITY, BLOODBATH) So, that is it from here...I have much more music to write be fore I even get into spending some time with those killer singers!

One more thing: we have official permission from Richard Dawkins to use The God Delusion as the title for the album."
