LOCH VOSTOK Bassist Forced To Sit Out Tour; Temporary Replacement Announced

September 13, 2010

Swedish melodic death metallers LOCH VOSTOK have issued the following update:

"Unfortunately [bassist] Tomas 'Tym' Jonsson has to sit out [our European] tour [with Swedish progressive/experimental metallers THERION and Norway's LEPROUS]. His herniated spinal disc is causing him excruciating pain and doctors strongly advised him not to go on tour.

"Life's a bitch, and Tym is really pissed off. We all wish him a speedy recovery and our thoughts are with him all the time.

"Luckily for LOCH VOSTOK, bass virtuoso Jimmy Mattsson from PLANET RAIN will help us out."

LOCH VOSTOK recently entered the studio to begin recording its fourth album, "Dystopium", for a late 2010 release.

LOCH VOSTOK's third full-length album, "Reveal No Secrets", was released in 2009 via Nightmare and Silverwolf Records. The CD was produced, recorded, mixed and edited by the bandmembers themselves and was mastered by Lawrence Mackrory at Great Scot! Audio. The album featured guest appearances by Per Nilsson (SCAR SYMMETRY),Erik EZ Blomkvist (PLATITUDE) and Tina Gunnarsson (ex-MELLOW POETRY).

LOCH VOSTOK is:

Teddy Möller - Vocals, Guitars
Mano Lewys - Guitars
Tomas "Tym" Jonsson - Bass
