What bothers me is the reasons for kicking Swano out:
1: he can't tour. When the hell is Bloodbath going to tour? Katatonia is so busy and I hear they are writing a new album, I don't understand how this matters.
2: they are going in different musical directions. Dan has said this is just not the case, he actually has been motivated to write some brutal stuff due to some of the mixing work he has done recently, and everything he had done for Bloodbath was great.
So, if neither of the reasons for kicking him out were valid and Bloodbath is not going to tour or do anything for that matter, what the hell!!!! I still look forward to the new Bloodbath but Swano leaving and this long delay puts a damper on things.
