Paul Olsen hat TRAIL OF TEARS verlassen, um sich in Zukunft mehr seinem eigenen Projekt GUARDIAN OF TIME zu widmen:


"Due to my commitment to GUARDIAN OF TIME, I can no longer give 100% of myself to TRAIL OF TEARS. Anything less than 100% feels wrong for me when it comes to such a great band, and I see no other option than to leave the band. My time in TRAIL OF TEARS has been a great run. I have been lucky enough to contribute to one of the band´s best albums, "Bloodstained Endurance", and we have played a lot of great shows together. My last gig with TRAIL OF TEARS at Metal Camp in Slovenia a few weeks ago was a good ending for me. We part ways as good friends, and I wish them the best of luck in the future."
