Posted Tue, Oct 26, 2004 - 10:07pm ET | Music
I earlier reported from a reliable source that the release date for Tori's new Epic album would be February 8, 2005. That source now tells me that the release date has been delayed until February 22, 2005. This could still change again, but for now, February 22nd is the date!
We have heard tiny comments about this new album from drummer Matt Chamberlain, who recorded the album with Tori earlier this year, as well as from Neil Gaiman. Looks like we have an exciting 2005 to look forward to! As Tori mentioned herself, a tour will likely follow around the same time as the album's release, and we are waiting also to find out more about that. Tori has implied that it will be a solo tour, at least at first, but we have no definite confirmation at this time. Keep The Dent bookmarked for more news as it arrives!
