SUICIDAL ANGELS Parts Ways With Bassist

December 15, 2008

Greek old-school thrashers SUICIDAL ANGELS have issued the following update:

"We regretfully announce that our bass player, Sotiris, decided to leave the band due to personal reasons.

"It was a tough decision and he struggled for months before making it, but in the end he just believed it to be the best choice.

"Sotiris joined the band in 2006 and was the band's bass player for many important concerts and all European tours up to now. He also was part of the lineup for the band's debut album, 'Eternal Domination', and can be seen performing on stage in SUICIDAL ANGELS' upcoming DVD, 'Live Domination', and various videos uploaded on YouTube. Together with the rest of the band, he tried hard to promote SUICIDAL ANGELS' music and helped make the group a better live act.

"SUICIDAL ANGELS would like to thank Sotiris for his contribution in the two years he was the band's bass player. We respect his decision and wish him the best for his personal as well as professional life.

"SUICIDAL ANGELS will go on as scheduled, regarding the recording of their second album in spring 2009. More news on that will be posted very soon.

"Regarding live appearances, you have probably gathered that the bass player position is now open. It is possible, however not 100% sure, that Sotiris will play the gig with DEW-SCENTED in February. We have already considered some candidates for the job he leaves behind and we'll have more on this in the next few days."

SUICIDAL ANGELS recently struck up a deal with OSM Records for the release of its new DVD, "Live Domination". The disc, which was filmed in May 2008 concert in Athens, will be made available in early 2009. According to the band, "the DVD will feature the whole show and 100% live sound. No overdubs whatsoever! It will also feature our two video clips off 'Eternal Domination' and a full band biography.

"Though we feel quite confident about picture and sound, we certainly don't pretend that our self-financed release meets the highest quality criteria. Therefore expect the price to be substantially low, compared to major band DVD releases. We certainly do not wish to rip anyone off!

"The front cover of the DVD package, designed by George 'Grin' Prasinis, [can be viewed below]. George has designed almost all SUICIDAL ANGELS artwork to date and we believe he once again did a killer job. We hope you like it as well!"

SUICIDAL ANGELS' debut album, "Eternal Domination", was released in July 2007 via OSM Records.
