As previously reported, Swedish glam rock/hard rock act THE POODLES - who recently parted ways with guitarist Pontus Norgren (who joined HAMMERFALL) have revealed TIAMAT axe Henrik Bergqvist as Norgren's replacement. He made his live debut with the band at the Sweden Rock Festival on Friday, June 6th.

The band has issued the following statement:

"It has taken some time and effort to find a suitable replacement, a person that possesses all the qualities needed to fill the position at stage right in this great band. Many talented guitar players have applied and impressed. But in the end we found the linguist and guitar phenomenon Henrik among Mayan Indians in the rainforests of southern Mexico and the deal was sealed!"

A new edition of The Poodles' 2007 album Sweet Trade features two added tracks 'Line Of Fire' (which we're The Poodles contribution in the Swedish tryouts for Eurovision Song Contest) and 'Raise The Banner' (which is Sweden's official song for The Olympics in China this summer).
