THE VERY END Parts Ways With Drummer, Announces Replacement
December 17, 2010Drummer Lars Janosch has left German metallers THE VERY END "due to changes in his private life" and has been replaced by Daniel Zeman (ENEMY OF THE SUN).
A photo of the band's new lineup, taken on the set of the video shoot for the song "A Hole In The Sun", can be viewed below.
Commented Janosch: "Due to private reasons, I won't be able to play with THE VERY END for the time being. This decision has been made by the band and myself after a considerable time. Of course I'll be at hand with help and advice for my boys as far as my family life permits me to do so! Thanx to all fans for a great time!!!"
Added THE VERY END: "With mixed feelings we announce the departure of our drummer Lars. The band does not only lose a founding member, but first and foremost a friend. Yet the decision was mutual and for the benefit of THE VERY END. We wish Lars and his family all the best! On the other hand, we are very happy to already welcome a new and likewise great drummer — Daniel Zeman! Daniel has already been taking part in the video shoot for 'A Hole In The Sun' and will make his live debut as a firm THE VERY END member at our January 2011 release shows!"
