September 24, 2007, 17 years ago
Swedish thrashers REVENGIA have parted ways with ARCH ENEMY drummer Daniel Erlandsson. The band's statement is as follows:
"As Revengia now is going to release Eraser we see the end of Daniel's work with the band. From the beginning he was asked to do A Decade In The Dark which was meant to be a one-off thing. But then there were some new songs written and we decided to go on and make a new album. Now we want to promote Eraser as good as we can with the possibility of doing shows. With Daniel already having a full time band that is very successful, he could not see that he would have enough time for Revengia. Revengia is very grateful for Daniel's great contributions for two albums. He an extraordinary musician and a super guy, so; THANKS DANIEL! Check out his drumming on Eraser, it’s as great as ever."Erlandsson comments: "With the release of Eraser and Revengia now changing from a project to a more focused unit, I feel that I don't have the time needed to be a member anymore. I really enjoyed playing on the new album, and I wish Revengia the best of luck in the future!"
Revengia continue: "We also would like to introduce a new member in the band! We welcome Conny Pettersson as the new drummer for Revengia. Some of you know him from his other band ANATA. He has also played with bands like TRENDKILL and ETERNAL LIES (where he played with Revengia's Martin Karlsson). Conny's playing is intense, technical and tasteful so we will surely create some great music in the future!"
Eraser will be released by Soundholic in Japan on November 21st. The tracklisting will be as follows: 'Eraser', 'Back To Hell', 'Breathe Me', 'Sweet Dreams', 'Life', 'Holy Lies', 'Deny', 'Pain', 'Whore', 'Prince Of Darkness', 'Hollow Soul' (Bonus Track for Japan).
