CHARON Parts Ways With Guitarist

February 5, 2010

Finnish gothic metallers CHARON have issued the following update:

"New decade brings changes to CHARON and now it's good time to update the situation.

"There have been rumours among CHARON fans and followers about the future of the band. Playfully it could be said that CHARON was not able to escape the cold grip of ongoing recession and had to go through re-organization and layoffs.

"After taking some time out last summer, we were not able to tune our engine to the needed pace for the studio sessions.

"We had written a bunch of new songs during the last couple of years but were not able to put them on record. After a long pondering and going through different alternatives, it was inevitable that we cannot output the next album in this mood of confusion. As a consequence, guitarist Pasi Sipilä has left CHARON.

"CHARON will continue playing and writing songs as a quartet. At the moment we are looking forward to new working methods and finding new ways to surprise our fans and to challenge bandmates with no boundaries on style or sound.

"We would like to thank Pasi for all his work for CHARON during the years and wish him good luck with music!

"We were glad to notice on our November gig that fans still believe in our work. It really kicks us forward and gives us a reason to continue. Hopefully we will meet again soon!

"CHARON will be entering the studio in March to record couple of new songs. Brand-new track will be released in March at our website in free Internet dowload!"

CHARON's latest CD, "Songs for the Sinners", debuted on Finland's national album chart at position No. 6 back in September 2005. The follow-up to 2003's "The Dying Daylights" was recorded at Finnvox Studios in Helsinki with producer Mikko Karmila.
