PETER WICHERS On Producing New JAMES LABRIE Solo Album - "I Am Honoured To Be A Part Of A Project With Amazing Musicians"
January 1, 2013, 11 years ago
Producer/ex-SOILWORK guitarist Peter Wichers has issued the following update:
"Super stoked about the new JAMES LABRIE (DREAM THEATER) solo album. I am honoured to be a part of a project with amazing musicians and and people such as James LaBrie , Matt Guillory , Ray Riendeau , Peter Wildoer and Marco Sfogli . All I can say is that this album will be great. I am also working on two other projects which I am super exited about. Can't say exactly what it is, just yet. This year will kick ass!"
Wichers officially left Soilwork in June 2012 for the second time due to “creative differences.” Back in December 2005, Wichers left Soilwork, only to rejoin in September 2008. At the time of his initial hiatus from the band Wichers said, "I was at a place in my life where I felt burnt out on touring and I needed to get my life into a more stable situation."
Peter’s current statement is as follows:
"I want to thank everyone who has supported Soilwork over the years. It has been a wild and fun ride, but it’s time for me to explore different options in my career. I will cherish all the amazing moments I have gathered from my time with Soilwork, and I would not be where I am today without the help from you fans, my family and Soilwork. Thank you!"Wichers has played on every Soilwork album with the exception of 2007's Sworn To A Great Divide; for which he was replaced by Daniel Antonsson (DARK TRANQUILLITY, DIMENSION ZERO).
