GRIFFIN Parts Ways With Drummer, Announces Replacement

22 July 2006

Norwegian metallers GRIFFIN have issued the following update:

"Due to obligations towards a new job as head chef in a steakhouse restaurant, our drummer, Marius [Karlsen], has decided to leave GRIFFIN. There's simply no time left for rehearsals for him.
Alessandro Elide, [who] did an outstanding job filling in for Marius on the European tour, will replace him. Alessandro is considered by many as one of the finest metal drummers in Norway. This will not affect his position in his main band MANIFEST."

In other news, GRIFFIN have uploaded a couple of preview clips from their upcoming DVD, which will be included with the limited-edition version of their next album.
