Alasen rumpali jättänyt yhtyeen: tilalle Kalmahin Janne Kusmin
Suomeksi laulettua tunnelmallista metallia soittavan Alasen rumpali Juuso Backman on jättänyt yhtyeen. Yhtyeen mukaan päätös oli kaikkia osapuolia tyydyttävä, eikä ilmassa ole katkeruutta. Backmanin korvaajaksi on valittu Kalmah-yhtyeestä tuttu Janne Kusmin, ja hänen ensimmäinen julkaisuna Alasen kanssa tulee olemaan piakkoin ilmestyvä ”On jatkettava” -niminen kappale. Yhtye kertoo Facebookissa:
”News from the land of Alase!”
”A new song is coming up! However, there has been a change in the line-up, and this marks the point where we part roads with our dear friend and valued drummer Juuso Backman. There is absolutely no drama or musical disagreement involved whatsoever, only life. Some parting words from Juuso:
”’Working with Alase has been one of the most interesting and eye-opening experiences of my musical career. It goes to show that when like-minded people get to work on something they all believe in physical distance means nothing. Alas, I currently don’t have the energy nor time to keep up with the rest of the guys, and I don’t want to be a hindrance, so I’m stepping down. Life happens, and nothing in life is constant except change. Thank you all for your support so far, keep it going!'”
”We hope all the best for Juuso and welcome our new drummer Janne Kusmin to the band!”
”Janne is best known from melodic death metal band Kalmah. As we speak Ari-Pekka Repo is mixing our new song ”On jatkettava” which is our first song with Janne on drums. So stay tuned to hear it soon!”
