mauvaise nouvelle, Lindberg se barre
Swedish melodic death metallers NIGHTRAGE have issued issued the following update:
"The last months it has been a lot of activety without you guys knowing it. A lot of stuff is going on in the future and we aim to take NIGHTRAGE to a new level. This take a lot of effort and time so it has brought us both some good, and some bad news.
"The bad news first. Tomas [Lindberg] has decided to leave us and here is his statement:
"'Dear fans of NIGHTRAGE and metal in general, I'm sad to announce my departure from the mighty NIGHTRAGE. This is a band I joined some time ago to help my friend Marios [Iliopoulos[, guitar] out. But over the course of time I've grown deeply fond of being a part of this extraordinary band. But as you might know I'm a busy soul and have no other option that to give up one of my projects, only because of lack of time. My only comfort is that NIGHTRAGE now can continue at full speed without me holding them back. But I will continue to follow their career, 'cause I have great expectations for the future of this band. Hail Marios! Hail NIGHTRAGE.'
"But this metal machinery got to keep on moving and the good news is that we have found a new killer singer, Jimmie Strimell (picture) and he will blow your mind. We have started to rehearse some songs and he has added a lot to the songs with his voice and charisma. Here is his statement:
"'Hello all you NIGHTRAGE fans out there. This is Jimmie, the new singer, I just want to tell you that I am so happy to join NIGHTRAGE and it's a big honour to take over after Tomas. I promise you guys that I will do the songs justice and you will not be disappointed. Stay metal and have patience, 'cause soon we will come and rock your town.'
"NIGHTRAGE has never been a project, and we will soon be out there to show you what we are all about. With this new line up NIGHTRAGE will play live, A LOT. So stay tuned about upcoming tours."
NIGHTRAGE's sophomore album, "Descent Into Chaos", was released earlier this year via Century Media Records. The follow-up to 2003's "Sweet Vengeance" was mixed at Studio Fredman in Gothenburg, Sweden with producer Patrik J. Sten and was mastered at Tailor Maid Production in Stockholm with Peter in de Betou.
