LEPROUS Splits With Bassist; Replacement Announced
Thursday, 8th August 2013
Upcoming Norwegian prog metallers LEPROUS have posted the following announcement:
“As some of you might have suspected, Rein and Leprous have chosen different paths for the future. Rein has been a part of Leprous in our two best years so far, and we are forever grateful for all the great music good times! He will play his last LEPROUS show at Brutal Assault this Saturday, so be there if you wanna wave him goodbye!
Says Rein: “The time has come for me to part ways with LEPROUS. I feel the need to prioritize different things in life, and as Leprous is a band that needs, and deserves, a high level of dedication, I decided that the best course of action was to take my leave. I am extremely grateful for being a part of Leprous for the last couple of years, for all the great memories and experiences, the ups and downs, and for being able to share them all with the rest of the guys in the band. I am confident that LEPROUS will continue on to accomplish great things, and I look forward to follow LEPROUS into the future. Thanks for the ride, guys!”
The band continues: “But, we are really happy to announce our new bass player, Martin Skrebergene! Martin is a very talented bass player, the most beautiful bass sound and technique we’ve heard in a while! We want you all to give him a warm welcome, and be there when he will perform his first Leprous show at Le Ferrallieur in Nantes, France!
Martin states: “I’m really excited to be a part of this great band and inspiring group of people. I look forward to bringing my style and musical influences into the band, and contributing with shaping an awesome future ahead with Leprous.”
