Denmark-based hard rockers ROYAL HUNT have parted ways with bassist Per Schelander and have replaced him with Andreas Passmark (NARNIA, ROB ROCK, E-TYPE).
Commented Schelander, "After four rollercoaster years of music, laughter and good memories I have to leave ROYAL HUNT. The reason is that I simply cant (due to my obligations in PAIN OF SALVATION) give RH the time and effort the band deserves.
It's been lovely to play with you guys André, Marcus, Allan, Mark and Maria! It also feels good to pass the torch to such a great player as Andreas Passmark, who will fit the band perfectly.
"My warmest thanks go to all the fans I met during these last four years you really made me feel welcome when I was the new guy and loved while I was on board!"
ROYAL HUNT added, "We'd like to thank Per for four wonderful years with us. His dedication, remarkable musical abilities and easy-going personality has been a great asset to us all. We wish him all the best in his future endeavours, all the success which he so rightfully deserves and while saying goodbye to a talented bass player looking forward to continuation of a great friendship."
