Bassist ROGER NILSSON Quits THE QUILL

May 26, 2005

Bassist Roger Nilsson (ex-SPIRITUAL BEGGARS, FIREBIRD) has officially quit Sweden's THE QUILL. His statement on the matter reads as follows:

"Well, I guess the cat is out of the bag. Yes it's true, I've decided to leave THE QUILL. After almost 12 years and four albums with the band I feel the need to take a step back and see what else might be out there. There's no hard feelings within the band whatsoever, on the contrary, the last show we did together, on the 20th of May, was probably one of my best experiences with the band during our years together.

"I wish the guys all the best and perhaps we'll see each other down the line somewhere in the future.

"This is not the end, only a new beginning!!!"

THE QUILL recently completed a three-song demo containing the tracks "Whole", "In the Shadows I Belong" and "Howl At the Moon".

THE QUILL's fourth album, entitled "Hooray! It's a Deathtrip", was released in September 2003 through SPV Records. The follow-up to 2002's "Voodoo Caravan" was produced by Rickard Bengtsson (SPIRITUAL BEGGARS) and mixed by Daniel Bergstrand (IN FLAMES, MESHUGGAH).
