ONE MAN ARMY AND THE UNDEAD QUARTET Recruits New Guitarist

August 17, 2009

ONE MAN ARMY AND THE UNDEAD QUARTET, the Swedish band featuring former THE CROWN vocalist Johan Lindstrand, has issued the following update:

"The search for a new guitar player is over. We have found the perfect guy for this band. But we will wait with the presentation of him until we have played our show at the Festival Ilha Do Ermal [in Portugal] on the 28th of August, where we will do the last show with our great friend and session guitar player, Mr. Rune Foss [RECLUSION]. We are looking forward to this festival show very much as well as what the future might bring for the new lineup further on."

Longtime ONE MAN ARMY AND THE UNDEAD QUARTET guitarist Mikael Lagerblad quit the band on April 1.

Lagerblad said in a statement: "After three albums and almost five years in the band, I have decided to quit. It has been a great time and I'm proud of the music that we have created. Even though ONE MAN ARMY has been a big part of my life, I feel I'm ready to move on. During the last couple of months my motivation and inspiration has not been at the high level it used to be. It might sound like a cliché, but there's no bad blood between us and I'm comfortable with my decision."

ONE MAN ARMY AND THE UNDEAD QUARTET's third album, "Grim Tales", was released on October 24, 2008 via Massacre Records. The CD was made available as a limited-edition digipack containing a bonus DVD. It was recorded at the Black Lounge Studios in Avesta, Sweden with producer Jonas Kjellgren (SCAR SYMMETRY).
