CRASHDIET Pulls Out Of Finnish Mini-Tour With HARDCORE SUPERSTAR

November 27, 2009

Swedish glam-rock band CRASHDIET has cancelled its previously announced Finnish tour dates as the support act for HARDCORE SUPERSTAR in order to focus on completing the recording sessions for its next studio album.

Commented CRASHDIET in a statement: "We're truly sorry [about] this, but the making of our next album is way too far behind our recording schedule. To avoid postponing the album release, we have been forced to cancel the Finnish tour supporting HARDCORE SUPERSTAR. The good thing is that we'll be back in Finland on a headlining tour with a brand new ass-kicking album behind us during next year!"

CRASHDIET entered the studio on Friday, November 13 with RamPac, the production and songwriting team formed by Johan Ramström and Patrik Magnusson, to begin recording its third album for an early 2010 release.

CRASHDIET recently announced the addition of Simon "Simme" Cruz from the Stockholm act JAILBAIT as the group's new lead singer. A new demo track, "Caught In Despair", featuring the band's latest addition is available for streaming below.

CRASHDIET parted ways with its last vocalist, the Finland-based H. Olliver Twisted, in July 2008. "We need a singer who can commit 100%, which unfortunately Olli couldn't live up to," the group stated at the time. "He, as many know about, has another band in Finland and we couldn't settle for sharing our time. We want to go further than any band has done before and we can't afford to spend time just waiting. We need to function as a full unit, all the time!"

CRASHDIET's sophomore album, "The Unattractive Revolution", entered the Swedish chart at position No. 11 back in October 2007. The CD was mixed in the United States by Kevin Churko.

"The Unattractive Revolution" features a guest appearance on two tracks by MÖTLEY CRÜE guitarist Mick Mars, who flew into Stockholm, Sweden in June 2007 to help CRASHDIET write some of the material.

H. Olliver Twisted joined CRASHDIET as the replacement for David Hellman (a.k.a. Dave Lepard),who committed suicide in January 2006.
