DEAD SHAPE FIGURE's Former Guitarist Rejoins Band On Bass

October 26, 2009

Former DEAD SHAPE FIGURE guitarist Erno "Ere" Talvitie (2004-2008) has rejoined the Finnish thrash metal outfit as the band's new bassist.

Commented Ere: "After about two years of being out DEAD SHAPE FIGURE and almost totally out of music 'business,' and, being as replenishing as it was, it felt damn good to get the call from the figures and being asked to play bass.

"I'm sure that almost everybody who knows Neissu's [former DEAD SHAPE FIGURE bassist] talents, whether they relate to bass playing or drinking Jaloviina and smoking cigarettes like a crazy-ass motherfucker, expect at least something like that from me too. Well, I'm not here to take Neissu's boots, simply because it's impossible. I don't think that you can find anyone in this country who could do that and still be a character that you are willing to keep in the band.

"This is something I'm asked to do and I'm quite eager to see what I'm able to bring to DEAD SHAPE FIGURE from behind the bass guitar.

"Anyway, it's so fucking good to be back with this group, but I'm taking this post slowly, day by day to see what next year brings us."

DEAD SHAPE FIGURE's full-length debut, "The Grand Karoshi", was released in May 2008 via Season of Mist. The song "Blithering Icon" is available for streaming using the audio player below.
