It's Official: Drummer PETER STJÄRNVIND Quits ENTOMBED

May 13, 2006

It's official: Drummer Peter Stjärnvind has left the long-running Swedish metallers ENTOMBED in order to concentrate on his membership in the Swedish cult act NIFELHEIM, NIFELHEIM guitarist Sebastian Ramstedt (a.k.a. Vengeance from Beyond; also in NECROPHOBIC) has confirmed to BLABBERMOUTH.NET. "No bad breakup or anything personal between him/us and the guys in ENTOMBED, but heavy touring didn't fit his situation right now," Ramstedt said. ENTOMBED are currently utilizing the services of session drummer Olle Dahlstedt (ALPHA SAFARI, ex-MISERY LOVES CO.) for all of their upcoming European gigs. Stjärnvind and his wife recently welcomed their first child, a daughter.

ENTOMBED will release a new EP, "When in Sodom", on June 6 via Threeman Recordings. A full-length album, "Serpent Saints", will follow on September 18.

ENTOMBED's new album was recorded at Soundland studio in Upplands Väsby, Sweden. The CD will be the group's first without the contributions of guitarist Uffe Cederlund, who left the band in September 2005.

NIFELHEIM's goal this year is to finish the songwriting and start to record the next album, according to Ramstedt. The band's current lineup is as follows:

Hellbutcher - Vocals
Tyrant - Bass
Vengeance From Beyond - Lead Guitar
Apocalyptic Desolator - Rhythm Guitar
Insulter of Jesus Christ! - Drums
