SPIRAL ARCHITECT Singer Joins ARCTURUS!

SPIRAL ARCHITECT singer Øyvind Hægeland has joined Norway's ARCTURUS as a replacement for Kristoffer Rygg (a.k.a. Garm, a.k.a. Trickster G.). The revamped band are currently rehearsing for upcoming shows and a new album, which may or may not turn out to be a mini-CD as opposed to a full-length release, according to www.spiralarchitect.com. As previously reported, SPIRAL ARCHITECT/BORKNAGAR drummer Asgeir Mickelson will join San Francisco Bay Area thrashers TESTAMENT as a temporary replacement for regular skinsman Jon Allen, whose personal family problems are preventing him from taking part in the group's upcoming European tour.
