NEURONIA Announces New Lineup

February 15, 2011

Polish metallers NEURONIA have unveiled their new lineup, reinforced by two acknowledged musicians from Warsaw's metal scene. The band will soon release an international version of its last album, "Follow The White Mouse".

In mid-January 2011 NEURONIA's bass player Dominik "Domo" Beska left the band due to time constraints. He played in NEURONIA since 2006 and participated in the recording of the band's both studio albums, as well as 2007's "First Blood" EP. Michal "Thor" Pasternak, the band's drummer, also left to be able to focus fully on his main band, RELIKT, and thrash-metal outfit WAR-SAW.

"Of course it's a difficult situation for the band when the whole rhythm section leaves. However, we're very happy that the split wasn't acrimonious, there was no bad blood and we're all still friends," says Michal "Misiek" Rogala, founder of the band. "We're very lucky — we've found two great musicians in no time, and they have seamlessly found their place in the lineup. We're even more motivated now — we feel a lot of newly-found energy," he adds.

Daniel "Beton" Grotkiewicz has assumed bass duties. He is a seasoned musician, as well as the founder, leader and mainstay of Warsaw's death metal horde MESMERIZE. He also plays bass in the grindcore band ANTICIPATE and sang lead for GORTAL for a time.

Marek "Deviant" Kuczynski, who also plays in the gothic-metal outfit AT THE LAKE as well as for the grindcore band ANUS MAGULO, became NEURONIA's new drummer. Marek also played in VECORDIA and NAILGUN.

The new lineup is getting ready for spring time shows. You will have the first opportunity to witness the new NEURONIA in action on February 25 in ComeIn, Opole alongside JELONEK, BALIAMA and PIGS IN TANK. Two days later, the same lineup of bands will appear in MegaClub, Katowice.

As a result of the lineup change, the band had to postpone its plans to record a four-track EP, which was announced in December last year. "But we'll have a small surprise release ready for our fans in the spring," says Maciek "Tektur" Nawrot, NEURONIA's lead singer.

The band's recent studio album, "Follow The White Mouse", is set for international release via Metal Scrap Records (Ukraine). The contract for the release has been signed in mid-January. The release — which features a slightly changed sleeve design and a pit-art engraving on the bottom side of the disc — will have its premiere in February/March 2011.
