Norway’s GRIMFIST has issued the following update:
“As many of you know, Frediablo sent out a statement a couple of weeks ago, about how fed up he is with being in a metal band, the genre and all that goes with it. Since we were already booked to do the Hole In The Sky festival and the Eternal Anger tour, he would do that and end it after the tour. We felt there was no point doing the gigs with him since he’s not dedicated to the genre anymore, and have therefore recruited another excellent vocalist. We’ll still remain as good friends and best of luck to Fred in the future, hopefully he’ll find his path.
“The new guy joining us is Tommy Hjelm (INSENSE) and is a very dedicated and professional guy. He can basically do all kinds of vocal styles within metal. Note: We will not go out and say this is the new permanent vocalist, for now we will do the festival and the tour. If it works out killer, we’ll take it from there. On bass, we’ll be joined by Dreggen (DEATHCON, AETERNUS) a very talented guy totally dedicated to heavy music.”
GRIMFIST‘s sophomore album, “10 Steps to Hell“, was released last October via Candlelight Records.
