DEATHSTARS Part Ways With Guitarist
August 24, 2005, 19 years ago
Sweden's DEATHSTARS have posted the following update at their official website regarding the departure of guitarist Beast X Electric (aka Erik Halvorsen):
"Due to lack of enthusiasm and living to far away from the band’s location in Stockholm, Sweden, Beast X Electric’s no longer a part of Deathstars. It has for a longer time been a problem for the band with the huge distance from Beast X Electric’s hometown on the swedish westcoast to Stockholm, and the problem with getting everything to function timewise has taken too much energy for Beast X as well as for the rest of the band.Deathstars is now reduced to only four members. Nightmare plays both guitars on the upcoming album, titled Termination Bliss. The band and Beast X are still the best of friends and the former guitarist will always be a huge part of Deathstar’s spirit.
On the upcoming tours Deathstars probably will use a session guitarist. Information on who that’ll be will be presented when that decision is made.
Beast X would like to thank all fans for a 'motherfuckin’ great time' and says that he in the nearest future will try to extend his
collection of Harley Davidson motorcycles."
"Deathstars will always be huge part of my life," commented Beast X Electric, "and the times with the band have resulted in more memories than an average person collects in a lifetime.”
