CIVILIZATION ONE Parts Ways With Guitarists, Drummer

October 7, 2008

CIVILIZATION ONE members Chitral "Chity" Somapala (vocals) and Pierre-Emmanuel Pélisson (bass) have issued the following statement :

"We are sad to announce that we parted ways with Christian Münzner (guitars),Björn Daigger (guitars) and Holger Rodammer (drums).

With the exception of the very first CIVILIZATION ONE concert at ProgPower UK, this lineup has played all the shows following the release of our first album, 'Revolution Rising'. We were looking forward to recording the second album, 'Calling The Gods', together. However, during the last months and for various reasons, it has proven more and more difficult working all together. In the end, we thought it was best to go on our seperate ways. There are definitely no hard feelings on our side and so we wish Chris, Björn and Holly all the best in their future projects.

"As for CIVILIZATION ONE, obviously the schedule for the following months has to be adjusted. We're very sorry that we are forced to cancel the two remaining shows for 'Revolution Rising' in France (Rockalies festival in St Martin de Fontenay) and in Germany (Power of Metal festival in Paderborn). The recording of 'Calling the Gods' will also be delayed, until we figure who is going to handle the vacant positions in the band. But please be sure that 'Calling the Gods' will come out and will more than meet the expectations following the critical success of our debut album."

"Calling The Gods" track listing:

01. Calling The Gods
02. Hell Awaiting
03. The Evil Eye
04. Reunite
05. Spirit In The Wind
06. Archangel
07. Lost In A New World
08. The Lie Among Us All
09. True Believer
10. Supernatural Virtue
11. The Son Of Atrocity

Chity previously stated about the upcoming CD, "This is not going to be a concept album at all! It has enough balls to please the metal/hard rock fans! We are not following any trends, we try our best on this one to get more recognition among today's competition! We keep our feet on the ground!"

Chity recently joined Shankle's DAVID SHANKLE GROUP (DSG) for the band's upcoming album and touring activities.

CIVILIZATON ONE released its first album, "Revolution Rising", in 2007 on Metal Heaven Records.
