BLO.TORCH Recruit Fill-In Guitarist

Dutch death metallers BLO.TORCH have posted the following message on their official web site:

"As the visitors of our show at the Metropolis Festival have noticed, a few face has appeared within the BLO.TORCH ranks. This new face is [guitarist] Rory Hansen. For the record: Marvin [Vriesde] has not left BLO.TORCH!

"Rory is currently doing a great job filling in for Marvin at several shows, while Marvin is out on the road with SEVERE TORTURE and DEW-SCENTED. Rory will be with us on stage lighting the torch for the rest of 2005."

BLO.TORCH's sophomore album, "Volatile", was self-financed made available late last year via the band's official web site and at their concerts. The follow-up to 1999's "Blo.torch" (Wicked World) was produced by Hans Pietersen at Excess Studio in Rotterdam, Holland.
