Anglo-Chilean thrashers CRIMINAL have announced Staff Glover as their new bass player, following the departure of original member Juan Kato Cueto. Glover had already stepped in during CRIMINALs 2004 European tour with SIX FEET UNDER.
Its a pity things didnt work out with Kato, but his heart was obviously somewhere else, comments singer/guitarist Anton Reisenegger. After recording Sicario we did three shows in the UK with CHIMAIRA, which all went great, and everybody was very optimistic regarding CRIMINAL, but unfortunately Kato decided to return to Chile. It was a bad case of homesickness.
Its great to have Staff in the band though, the frontman continues. Hes a very solid player and a long-time friend of the band. We already had a great laugh on the SIX FEET UNDER tour. Hes got this dark sense of humor which fits us perfectly. We are all in high spirits about our future as a band. Lets hope this line-up lasts for a bit longer!
In other news, the readers of Terrorizer Magazine voted CRIMINALs latest output Sicario as the 9th best album of 2005. The band members wish to thank everyone who voted for them.
CRIMINAL have lined up the following festival shows for the summer so far:
22.07.06 Urbach, Germany Zabbaduschder Festival (w/BORN FROM PAIN, BELPHEGOR, DAVIDIAN, etc.)
25.08.06 Gemünden, Germany Up From The Ground Festival (w/GOD DETHRONED, GOREFEST, SINISTER, etc.)
