Drummer Adrian Erlandsson has confirmed he’s no longer a member of PARADISE LOST.
Last year, the sticksman announced he’d sit out the band’s European tour due to other commitments. Now he’s confirmed the departure is permanent.
He says in a statement: “For the ones that don’t already know, I am no longer playing with Paradise Lost. When The Plague Within was released last year, I was in the middle of gigs with At The Gates and The Haunted.
“Since I couldn’t make all the gigs for the new album, it made sense for Paradise Lost to have someone that can be there the whole time, which I couldn’t.
“I want to thank everyone in the band and management. It has been an amazing ride playing with one of my favourite bands and I feel very proud of the work we did together.”
Finnish drummer Waltteri Vayrynen stood in for Erlandsson for their live shows.
