And lo, the nice man from Atlantic Records said: "Well, it's not nonsense - but it's not necessarily true. He's had the record from the start, but he definitely won't be releasing it until after the second Darkness album". On the new record from Hawkins and co, it appears that the band are at the closing stages of recording and are in the process of laying down vocals. Given notions of mixing and all that stuff, an Autumn release seems quite feasible...
