Die schwedische Doom-Metal-Band DRACONIAN verkündet den Ausstieg von Bassist Fredrik Johansson und die babybedingte Pause von Drummer Jerry Torstensson.
Fredrik erklärt:
“Dear friends. I’ve been a part of DRACONIAN for about a decade and during that time it’s been a dream for all of us to play more. Heike joining the band and the release of Sovran have led to offers for several gigs and also a tour. Sadly I would’ve had a hard time to join in on this because I started to find it hard to combine family life and a full time job with touring and playing gigs. A couple of years ago I would’ve bent over backwards to make things work out but my priorities have changed so I’ve decided to leave DRACONIAN. During my years in the band we’ve been to places I never even dreamt of going and met many great persons that I’m glad to call my friends. I wish the best for my brothers and sister in DRACONIAN and believe the bands future will be just awesome. Love!”
Für die kommende Tour werden beide vorläufig ersetzt. Den Bass wird Daniel Änghede (Crippled Black Phoenix, Hearts of Black Science, ISON) schwingen, hinter das Schlagzeug setzt sich Tarald Lie (Tristania).
