According to a posting at their website, Norwegian black metallers TIDFALL "are now starting the process of writing new songs. No plans are made for the coming summer, just having a relaxing time and put all our efforts in making one hell of a sequel to Nucleus (2003). The last gig in Tromsø went fucking great, people from the northernmost part of Norway really know how to metalparty! Thanx for the support! Things might be a little slow on the site for some time. We’re all starting holidays soon, but we’ll try to get some new pics and some words out in between. So long and have one hell of a summer! Cheerz!"
