SPAWN OF POSSESSION Parts Ways With Drummer, Announces Replacement

December 8, 2010

Swedish technical death metallers SPAWN OF POSSESSION have issued the following update:

"We regret to inform you that we have released Richard Schill of his drumming duties in SPAWN OF POSSESSION. Reason being is that Richard depends very much on actual band practice and with SPAWN OF POSSESSION members being scattered all over Sweden, Norway and Germany, band practice becomes an impossibility. This decision is in no way a reflection on Richard's skills as a drummer or his personality as he will always remain part of the SPAWN OF POSSESSION family. We wish him all the best with his ongoing and future endeavors in music. To fill the gap after Richard, we have recruited Henrik Schönström [UNMOORED, TORCHBEARER] to take over the percussive side of the band. Right now Henrik is preparing for the recording of the next album and we welcome him to the camp."

SPAWN OF POSSESSION recently parted ways with vocalist Matthew Chalk (PSYCROPTIC) and was rejoined by Dennis Röndum.

SPAWN OF POSSESSION's current lineup:

* Dennis Röndum - Vocals
* Erlend Caspersen (VILE, BLOOD RED THRONE, DECREPIT BIRTH) - Bass
* Henrik Schönström - Drums
* Christian Münzner (OBSCURA, NECROPHAGIST) - Guitar
* Jonas Bryssling - Guitar

SPAWN OF POSSESSION's sophomore album, "Noctambulant", was released in 2006 via Neurotic Records. The CD was recorded at Pama Studios in Kristianopel, Sweden with producer Magnus Sedenberg.

SPAWN OF POSSESSION is in the process of signing a new record deal, the details of which will be announced soon.
