I want to thank all of The Greatest Fear's Amercian friends for being so patient while we have been playing international shows. I feel that my experiences out of the country have made me a more well rounded individual... I have been forever changed. It is my desire to bring you the best album I can & I fnally feel that I can truly deliver a strong sophmore effort. Little changes in life affect people and "life" has certainly been having it's way with me. I've learned to welcome it and drink it wildly from the cup. Creation is an amazing process that needs life or it will starve - I spent a while coveting the initial success that we had and trying to force out another great album and had writer's block. I found that once I sat back and embraced the personal issues that have sprung up in my life I can write with ease. Turmoil truly can breed inspiration. I scratched a lot of the original material that I had been working on for the next album as I am musically taking this project in the way it was always intended to go. Many try to pigeon-hole this band as metal or gothic metal etc. I found myself pinned down trying to please - instead I will just do what I do- and write songs The Greatest Fear way.
Thank you for waiting- It won't be much longer for The Locust Queen's successor...
Jane
P.S. Thank you Brazil The Greatest Fear fans - you are truly inspirational! Your wonderful emails and cards are truly touching.

We just sold copy 5000 of our CD!
I love everyone for making this happen...
I will start working on another album soon- I have grown immensly as an artist and will make sure - even if I have to go in debt on recording costs that the album after this will be bigger and better! I would like more of you who have bought the album to come out to see us live - because I have a SICK live line-up right now and have been playing shows with many bands that are great musicians and solid people.
Arizona friends of The Greatest Fear all I can say is "Wow!" The Greatest Fear kicked of our Arizona tour rotation with two amazing shows! First with "Blessed Be Thy Name" and "Eyes Of Fire (Century Media)" and then another show with "Element A440" and "Dissonance." I don't know what is going on in Arizona but L.A. should be ashamed of itself. Each band (and I had to see at least 8 bands) from AZ was amazing. Everyone put on a stellar show - the crowds were huge and incredibly fun to talk to!
RESPECT & LOVE to Arizona,
Jane

I am so excited to announce that The Greatest Fear has been named the best Gothic Band of 2005 by the Rock City News. The 11th Annual Rock City News Awards Show took place at the Universal Studio's B.B. Kings December 8th
2005 and truly lived up to it's reputation as L.A.'s Premier Rock magazine event.
We are also completely ecstatic to announce that "The Coronation Of The Locust Queen" has been nominated for The Best Hard Rock/Metal Album of 2006 category for the Independent Music Awards (last year nominees for this category included Lacuna Coil and Orgy). The Independent Music Awards (IMA's) are run by the international best-selling resource magazine: The Musician's Atlas. Judges for this event include: Norah Jones, Joe Perry, Melissa Etheridge, George Clinton and Andrew W.K. as well as Industry panelists from Performing Songwriter and Billboard Magazine. Not only are we honored to have these great musicians/performers listening to our album, we are humbled to be the only representative from The United States in our category which had thousands of submissions. The Independent Music Awards has a 4.5 million customer contact promotion exclusively through Borders and has literally made the careers of past recipients. So as you can see - we have been really busy! Our tour dates have been a blast and as always you can view the incriminating tour pictures on www.myspace.com/thegreatestfear hot off the digital presses and often taken by all of you great friends of The Greatest Fear.
Love and Respect-
Jane
