CRIMINAL: Original Bassist Rejoins The Fold

February 9, 2005

Chilean thrash metal band CRIMINAL have completed their lineup with the addition of original bass player Juan "Kato" Cueto. Cueto will be traveling to the U.K. in April to join the rest of the band in the pre-production for their fifth studio album, due out in September via Metal Blade Records. The creative core of the band, comprised of Rodrigo Contreras (lead guitar) and Anton Reisenegger (guitar/vocals),relocated to Europe in 2001, being joined by Zac O'Neil (EXTREME NOISE TERROR) on drums.

"It's so great to have Kato back in the band," Reisenegger commented. "He's like the soul of CRIMINAL. We went back to South America last year to play a few shows, and since we didn't have a permanent bassist at that time, we asked Kato to help us out. We only had like two days to practice, and from the moment he hit the first note it became clear that he was still a part of the band. The shows went fuckin' great, and I think that's when he decided he was going to give it a go and come to Europe."

Details on the forthcoming CRIMINAL album, which follows up the 2004 release "No Gods No Masters", will be made available shortly.
