DE PROFUNDIS Part Ways With Bassist; Announce Replacement
May 17, 2009, 15 years ago
London, UK-based progressive doom-metallers DE PROFUNDIS have issued the following update
"De Profundis and bassist Aleksej Obradovic have parted ways after more than three years of successful collaboration due to musical differences. Additionally, Aleksej's job commitments would have made it very hard for the band to go touring or to perform live on a regular basis. The split was amicable and we remain on good terms with Aleksej.De Profundis would like to thank Aleksej for his contribution to the band and wish him the best of luck in his future musical endeavours.
A replacement bass player has already been found. We have been fortunate enough to secure Arran McSporran's services as a new full-time band member. Arran will be laying down all the bass tracks on the new De Profundis album, due to be recorded in June 2009 with producer Fernando Pereira. Arran will be making his live debut with De Profundis at Romania's Rock City Open Air 2009 Festival.
We will be shortly announcing several more festival dates this summer."
