Swedish death masters VOLTURYON have officially announced Alexander Högbom as the band's new vocalist. Replacing Olle Ekman, Högbom is in for a baptism by fire as Volturyon performs with DEMONICAL on the Eastern Death Infernal Tour.
Says Volturyon guitarist Andreas Olander about the new addition: "We've known Alexander for a while through his band SPASMODIC and his occasional guest appearances with us. His vocals impressed us from day one. It's with great anticipation we look into the future."
"I first made contact with Volturyon when they mailed me their promo-CD, Blood Cure," says Högbom. I was running a rock club in Ludvika by the name Cavum back then, and they wanted me to book a gig for them at the club. I listened to their promo and was really impressed, so I arranged a gig for them in August of 2008 in Ludvika. Ever since I have been a fan of Volturyon. After a few years with no further contact I received a text message from [drummer] Christian Netzell, wondering if I wanted to join the band and do the east-Europe/Baltic tour with them, and I said yes. It is quite an honor to have been chosen to do the vocals in Volturyon and to play with such skilled musicians."Check out a new Volturyon promo photo below:
Sweden's Demonical have announced the Eastern Death Infernal Tour 2011, a headlining crusade running from October 26th to November 12th, focusing mainly on the Baltic and East European territories.
Says the band: "It is with great enthusiasm we look forward to deliver some Swedish death metal darkness for our loyal followers in Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Czech Republic, Germany and Denmark. Some of the shows (Warsaw, Budapest, Bucharest, Berlin etc) have already been published and promoted at various places, however, we will officially reveal all massacres when the entire crusade has been booked and confirmed.
Supports on the trek will be Volturyon, and the melodic extreme metal act SLYTRACT from Hungary. Further details to follow.
