Drummer Ryan Van Poederooyen (DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT, TERROR SYNDROME) checks in with the following update:

"New Terror Syndrome music has been written! I was practising and learning drums for the new Devin Townsend Project album and took a break from learning songs and finally decided to write two new Terror Syndrome songs for the next album. YES, there will be a second album. Dave Padden (ANNIHILATOR) is a busy man with touring, Dave Young and I are busy as well with touring and recording with the Devin Townsend Project. When will the new Terror Syndrome album will be recorded and released? I don't know, when time allows BUT it will happen.

Our debut album has been released world-wide through iTunes and other online distributors for a while now and thanks to all of you who support the band and have purchased the album online. We've played a few rare shows, when time allowed. Trying to tour Terror Syndrome is very difficult with our commitments to DTP and Annihilator. This project was self funded by yours truly from the beginning. We did look at label offers and such but nothing made sense. Terror Syndrome was either going all out with the right support from a label or it was going to be released as a side project for the listening pleasure of our fans. We did not want to settle with a deal that wouldn't get us in the right situation for touring and promoting the band.

With the second record, things will be just as intense, brutal and catchy as the first album. You will also get to hear Dave Padden's influence on the band. It won't disappoint, trust me.

As for live.... there WILL be more shows and touring could be a possibility if time and the right situation should arise. We WILL be back on stage. Mark my words!

Thanks for all your support. We have great fans who have supported us for a long time now. I read all the mail and return it as much as I can. Please remember I'm one hell of a busy dude! Stay posted for new music, it's being written and it WILL be recorded and released.

Thanks for your support, you ALL RULE!"
