Finnish thrashers DEAD SHAPE FIGURE recently parted ways with bassist Neissu.

Singer Galzis has issued the following update:

"Dead Shape Figure has found a new bass player... phhhh.... We actually didn't even search a new bass player we just called to our old friend Ere and asked if he has any interest of being a worthless piece of s.... a bass player in DSF and after the call maybe 2h later Ere was in our rehearsal room learning the new songs and jamming like a mofo.

It's so much easier to deal with an old friend rather than bringing in a bunch of strangers into the auditions and first explain them how DSF rolls, then see if they can play anything and finally when the band thinks that this guy is the one they realise that he is actually a cunt when he drinks over 6 beers and starts to really annoy everyone and then at some point he will tell the band that how ridiculous is the fact that the band is paying their own plane tickets and not the label when they are leaving on tour and how his girlfriend thinks this and that and blaablaablaa...

A little bit of over exaggerating maybe... But from an experience we though that this is the best idea... And we have really missed Ernos scence of sarcasm in the rehearsal space. Oh, and for you who dont know: Erno played guitar in DSF during 2004-2008.

PSYCHE.

Here is Eres statement: "After about two years of being out Dead Shape Figure and almost totally out of music "business", and, being as replenishing as it was, it felt damn good to get the call from the figures and being asked to play bass.

I'm sure that almost everybody, who knows Neissu's talents, whether they relate to bass-playing or drinking Jaloviina and smoking cigarettes like a crazy-ass motherfucker, expect at least something like that from me too.

Well, I'm not here to take Neissu's boots, simply because it's impossible. I don't think that you can find anyone in this country who could do that and still be a character that you are willing to keep in the band.

This is something I'm asked to do and I'm quite eager to see what I'm able to bring to Dead Shape Figure from behind the bass-guitar.

Anyway, it's so fucking good to be back with this group, but I'm taking this post slowly, day by day to see what next year brings us." - Ere aka Erno Talvitie

Other news: We have a studio booked for this year and we are almost ready with the pre-production... We are gonna unleash all the details about the new album next month."
