NOMINON Parts Ways With Guitarist, Announces Replacement

February 18, 2011

Guitarist Christian Strömblad has left Swedish death metallers NOMINON in order to focus on "some personal shit." His replacement is Alexander Lyrbo, who has proven himself more than worthy to fill Christian's bloodstained boots," the band writes in a post on its official web site.

Alexander will make his live debut with NOMINON on March 5 in Zabrze, Poland.

Regarding Strömblad's departure, NOMINON states, "NOMINON collectively wishes Mr. Strömblad all the best of luck and hope that everything will work out for the best. What we have accomplished and yet also what we've been going through during the last six years together is something that only a handful of people in the world would have managed to come out of alive, yet we fucking pulled it off."

In other news, NOMINON is in the process of booking a short European tour, to take place in late March and early April. Support will come from the fleshy German deathsters LIFELESS, a band that just released a "killer fucking debut album" on Ibex Moon Records.

NOMINON's fourth album, "Monumentomb", was released last March via Deathgasm Records. The CD was recorded at Necromorbus Studio (WATAIN, NOMINON, AVERSE SEFIRA, FUNERAL MIST, NEX, ONDSKAPT, MORK GRYNING, ADORIOR) in Alvik, Sweden and was mixed with producer Tore Stjerna. The cover artwork was created by Chris Moyen and can be viewed below.
