DEADLOCK Parts Ways With Bassist

December 12, 2008

German melodic death metal hopefuls DEADLOCK have parted ways with bassist Thomas Huschka. "Due to some musical and personal differences, we agreed with him that it's better to make a cut," the band said in a statement. "There's no shittalking whatsoever, no bad mood or angry feelings. We just decided that DEADLOCK should go on with a new bass player. We thank Tom for all the amazing years, the great time, his friendship and all our happy experiences together!"

The group added, "All future shows will be played with session musicians until we found a new member for that part."

"The Brave / Agony Applause", the new video from DEADLOCK, can be viewed below. The clip was filmed with director Philipp Hirsch (HEAVEN SHALL BURN, AMON AMARTH, DISILLUSION). The track comes off the group's new album, "Manifesto", which was released in Europe on November 17 (January 6 in the U.S.) via Lifeforce Records. The follow-up to 2007's "Wolves" was mixed by Jacob Hansen (MERCENARY, VOLBEAT, RAUNCHY) and was released in several different formats. The artwork and design for "Manifesto" was handled by Adam Wentworth at www.the663.com, who has previously worked with BEYONCÉ, COHEED AND CAMBRIA and A LIFE ONCE LOST.

DEADLOCK will support THE HAUNTED and ALL THAT REMAINS on their upcoming mainland Europe dates in January/February 2009.
