Cyclamen have posted an update about their upcoming split EP with Haunted Shores, which we posted about last month. The tracks are currently being mixed. The band will take a break from recording for the holidays and will continue in January. They also report that Haunted Shores needed to delay the release date, so it has been pushed back to February 2010.

Hayato Imanishi of Cyclamen has announced that the release of their full-length album "Senjyu" has been delayed because the band want to focus on getting themselves gig ready.

However, they have also indicated that they will be releasing a split with Haunted Shores (Mark Holcomb, Misha "Bulb" Mansoor) in January 2010. It will be produced by Dan Weller and Justin Hill (both formerly of Chilledvondub).

Drummer Duncan Lee apparently can't make it to the studio and will be replaced by "Boris", whoever that is.
