JACK FROST Says Singer ALAN TECCHIO Is 'Taking A Leave Of Absence' From SEVEN WITCHES

January 19, 2009

In response to the confusion caused by the recent announcement that HELSTAR frontman James Rivera has rejoined SEVEN WITCHES for the recording of the band's next studio album and subsequent live shows, SEVEN WITCHES guitarist Jack Frost has released the following statement:

"Alan [Tecchio; who sang on the last two SEVEN WITCHES albums] is still the singer in SEVEN WITCHES and we will do another record together, but for the time being he is taking a leave of absence. 'Deadly Sins' [2007] was our best-selling album to date and I am very proud of what he and I have created. For 2009, Alan has commitments with his band HADES, among other projects. With James back in the fold, we thought it would be really special to include him on the next record. If all goes according to plan, James' schedule with HELSTAR will not interfere with SEVEN WITCHES and vice versa. Also, bassist Kevin Bolembach (who played on 'Amped' and 'Deadly Sins') is still in the family but has moved on to commit more time to his band called INFERNOPHONIC."

The current lineup for SEVEN WITCHES is:

James Rivera (HELSTAR) - Vocals
Mike LePond (SYMPHONY X) - Bass
Jack Frost - Guitar
Taz Marazz - Drums

The band has already finished laying down drums for three songs with producer Joey Vera (ARMORED SAINT, FATES WARNING). The album is pretty much written and when Jack returns from NAMM, he will start recording the basic tracks. James will lay down his vocals when SEVEN WITCHES start rehearsing in February for their upcoming live dates.
