DE PROFUNDIS Parts Ways With Drummer, Seeks Replacement

June 23, 2008

London, UK-based progressive doom metal band DE PROFUNDIS has parted ways with drummer Sterghios Moschos (PANTHEIST). "Following his move to Canterbury, it would no longer have been possible for Sterghios to rehearse and play shows with us frequently because of the distance involved," the group writes in a statement. "We wish Sterghios the best of luck in all his future endeavours."

The band continues, "DE PROFUNDIS are now seeking a new drummer. We are looking for a tight, creative drummer with solid double pedal skills, blasting ability and good compositional vision. Own kit and transport required. Studio and live experience preferred! Interested parties can contact us through our mySpace page, website or directly via email at band(at)deprofundisdoom(dot)com.

"In the meanwhile, we will be continuing to work on new material for our second album, due to be recorded in January 2009. Session drummer David Andrews has kindly agreed to perform with us live until a permanent drummer is found."

DE PROFUNDIS's debut album, "Beyond Redemption", was self-released on August 21. The CD was recorded and mixed by Steve Watkins at Warehouse Studios, Oxford and was mastered by Tim Turan, who has worked with such artists as OPETH, EMPEROR, DIMMU BORGIR and AT THE GATES.

While maintaining the traditional crushing and eternally despairing sound of doom metal, DE PROFUNDIS also has many genre-defying and unique touches to its sound, such as jazz-funk slap bass, black metal blast-beats and a fully stereo guitar attack with technical guitar solos. DE PROFUNDIS also boasts an original logo by none other than the black metal legend Christophe Szpajdel.
