Due to scheduling troubles, Silvertide canceled all of their upcoming performances. In a statement made through
MySpace ,fans were told:"Some of you have asked about rumors of Silvertide canceling their upcoming tour. The rumors are TRUE. All future Silvertide tour dates are canceled and the band is going back into the studio to record their next record. The circumstances are odd and the story is long-winded but the bright side is that next time you see the band you'll hear all new stuff. We look forward to seeing everyone in the summer."In February 2006 the band made their second appearance on the cover of Origivation Magazine. The photoshoot took place while the band was in preproduction for their next album.
