For some personal reasons, I\u2019ve decided to leave the band. Still, it\u2019s been a great experience and an honour to play all the band\u2019s shows so far and record the upcoming album in Sweden with (producer) Daniel Bergstrand. I\u2019m really happy with the result. I love the songs, the sound and I\u2019m proud of my drumming on this one.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs for the near future, I will be touring for the last time ever with my brothers from Benighted in January and February, opening for The Black Dahlia Murder all over Europe. It will be the best way possible to close a ten-amazing-years-long chapter of my life. These guys are my absolute best friends and I have no doubt that we\u2019ll have a lot of fun on this tour! After that, it will be time for me to move on, look for new projects and do my best to keep making a living out of music.
