PITCHBLACK Parts Ways With Guitarist

April 17, 2008

Danish modern "melodeath thrashers" PITCHBLACK, who were recently honored in the "Best Debut Album" category at the Danish Metal Awards, have parted ways with guitarist Trold. According to the group, "He wanted to spend more time with his child and girlfriend. PITCHBLACK fully respect that and has already begun sessions with new guitarist. We want to make it clear that we continue with 666 miles per hour!!!"

Commented Trold: "Unfortunately, I don't like playing anymore live and I want to spend more time with my family. That is why I leave PITCHBLACK. It has been a hard decision and something I have thought about for quite a while. It's a 'happy divorce' and I wish all the best for my friends in PITCHBLACK."

In other news, PITCHBLACK has posted two new rehearsal-recording-quality tracks on its MySpace page"Revenge" and "I Return".

The band's debut album, "Designed to Dislike", was released in Denmark on August 13, 2007 via Target Distribution.

The group's video for the song "Angelized" can be viewed below.

"Designed to Dislike" was produced by Steen Mogensen (CORNERSTONE, ex-ROYAL HUNT).

Formed in late 2002, PITCHBLACK released two demo tapes prior to recording its debut album: 2003's "No Sympathy Left" and 2004's "PitchBlack Promo 2004".
