BALFOR Parts Ways With Guitarist, Announces Replacement

April 19, 2010

Ukrainian black metallers BALFOR have announced the departure of guitarist Agnarr.

Agnarr was forced to quit the band following a recent injury that's said to be serious enough to stop the guitarist from performing in the studio or live. No further details on the injury were provided.

Commented BALFOR founding frontman Thorgeir: "We are very sorry that this has happened to Agnarr. It's a terrible thing when a musician is no longer able to play, and he is one of those musicians with a natural talent and a lot of experience. We hope that he'll be able to overcome the effects of the injury and eventually return to playing. BALFOR is certainly going to miss both his musicianship and his companionship."

Dragon-T, former guitarist of thrash metal band HELL:ON, will replace Agnarr.

"Once again we've been lucky in our search for a guitarist," Thorgeir notes. "Dragon-T is as skilled as Agnarr, both live and when it comes to recording, and the fact that he was available just when we needed him was a stroke of good fortune for us."

Dragon-T's first live appearance with BALFOR took place this past weekend at the Metal Heads Mission Festival in Kiev.

BALFOR will release its full-length debut, "Barbaric Blood", later this year via Pulverised Records.
