Iz tabora hrvaških doom metalcev Old Night sporočajo, da jih je zapustil vokalist in kitarist Matej Hanžek. Vrzel v zasedbi bo na vokalu tako zapolnil njegov brat Ivan, na kitari pa se je zasedbi pridružil Rafael Cvitković (Nekroza). Spodaj lahko preberete celotno izjavo banda:

»This is a post I write with a heavy heart, yet full of hope and with a bright look on the future. After eight years with us as our lead singer and frontman, earlier this year Matej decided to step down from his duties within Old Night. I know you are hoping for some gossip or a sassy story, but there was no drama involved. He just wants to focus on other things in life and at this point, music is not a priority for him. Having said that, I wish to thank him on our behalf for everything he has done for us, all the great times we shared on stage and backstage, but also for all the long hours he has put in working on our first three records. It was a privilege and you'll always be a part of our family. Obviously, this news has taken us aback and we had to figure out how best to proceed. We took some time to see what our options were, as this is an important role we needed to fill. After much deliberation we figured out we need not look outside our band for a perfect candidate as we have one in our midst. Ivan has been singing all the backing vocals from day one and from now on he will be handling all the lead vocals. No need to worry, he’ll remain our lead guitarist as well.

The only piece of the puzzle left to figure out was who’ll play the rhythm guitars? Without further ado, we welcome Rafael Cvitković, from the Croatian death metal machine Nekroza, as our new guitarist. If you attended our concerts, you might have already seen him filling in on sound checks or working on our merch booth. Nekroza just released their debut album on InsArt Records – you can check them out and show them your support.

With our line-up complete, we will continue working on our new record and we hope we’ll have some news in that regard soon. In a couple of weeks, we’ll have our first concert with the new line-up and we can’t wait to present you the New Old Night.«

Pionirji death/doom metala My Dying Bride se žal za nedoločen čas poslavljajo od odrskih nastopov. Družbena omrežja so sicer že pred nekaj časa preplavile novice o nenadnih odpovedih njihovih nastopov na letošnjih poletnih festivalih, včeraj pa so vse skupaj obrazložili z uradno objavo.

Snemanje oziroma celoten proces ustvarjanja sveže izdanega albuma A Mortal Binding je med člani povzročilo oziroma povzročil kar nekaj napetosti, ki so pri nekaterih žal pripeljale tudi do izgorelosti. V upanju, da bodo lahko vse te napetosti reševali brez posredovanja zunanjih oseb in tako izpeljali tudi vsaj nekaj koncertov, so nekako zavlačevali tudi z uradno izjavo. Pa vendar naj bi zaradi pomanjkanja komunikacije in nerazumevanja profesionalnih partnerjev prišlo do še večjega kaosa in težav, ki bodo terjale kar nekaj časa za razrešitev. Upamo, da bodo te težave uspešno rešili.

Je pa zasedba ob izidu albuma objavila tudi besedilni video za enega izmed novih komadov, in sicer Her Dominion.
