DESTINY - 30th Anniversary Album Put On Hold Indefinitely
February 7, 2012, 12 years ago
In December 2011, Gothenburg's DESTINY entered the studio DRS to start the recording of the band's 30th Anniversary album, The Incompatibility Of Philosophical Terminology. Founder Stefan Björnshög has issued the following announcement with regards to the project:
"As you probably know the recording of the 30th anniversary album came to a sudden and unwanted halt due to the passing of my fiancée Therese Hanserot, who also was the original singer in Destiny. This also meant that the schedule for the anniversary year collapsed. I don't know how to proceed at this moment. The mourning will have to take its time before I can sit down and rethink everything. Before the funeral that will take place on February 22nd nothing will happen."Follow Destiny on Facebook here.
As previously reported, on January 17th, Therese Hanserot, the original lead singer for Gothenburg's Destiny, passed away at only 48 years-old. Hanserot joined Destiny in the fall of 1982, just 18 years old, and she left the band in the summer of 1983. During this time she recorded six songs for the first ever Destiny demo as well as performing with the band on their first ever gig (at the rock club RPM). After leaving Destiny she sang in a couple of cover bands before quitting singing for good.
Destiny guitarist Stefan Björnshög: "At my 30th birthday party in 1990 we reconnected again, this time as friends. We realized that we had so much in common that never came to the surface in the band. For about two years we hanged out together before life once again took us into different paths.
Last year, 18 years later, in August, we reconnected through Facebook. And it didn't take long before we where engaged and in a wonderful loving relationship. Therese planned to start playing keyboards again and even agreed to sing a small part on one of the songs for the 30th anniversary album. Now that will not happen and I will forever carry the memory of Therese in my heart. My sorrow is endless and the hurt is unbearable. I love you Therese!"
