Nieuwe bassist voor Omnium Gatherum
De Finse deathmetallers van Omnium Gatherum hebben helaas bassist
Janne door afnemende interesse zien vertrekken, maar er is ook alweer een vervanger gevonden in Eerik
Purdon, die al enkele shows met Omnium Gatherum gespeeld heeft.
Statement van de band:
We’re sad to inform that our longtime bass player for 10 years, Janne
Markkanen, has decided to step aside from Omnium Gatherum crew due to his lack
of time and motivation for this type of music. There’s no bad blood between us
and of course we wish him best of luck for whatever he is doing from now on.Good news is that we have new fresh motivated blood in the crew as Eerik
Purdon is our new bassist from now on and he’ll be looking after adding some
demonic bottom pulse and groove to our noise. Eerik has been our good friend for
some time and he also helped us and played bass on Omnium gatherum’s Summer
Blast Fest Spain / Portugal tour in June 2007 when Janne was unavailable to do
the shows, and the dude really showed his infernal talents and Omnium Gatherum
attitude there! Eerik also plays in Crystal Blaze and he was acting session
bassist in Amoral for their latest Finnish shows.
Statement van Janne:
Thanks to everybody, Omnium Gatherum dudes, other bands and fans for
great times during these years. I really felt that it was time for me to step
aside, and let someone with more enthusiasm to take my place. Eerik is a real
bad-ass player and great dude, so be prepared for some major ass-kicking Omnium Gatherum material!
