There has been some changes in the Sear Blss camp. There will be some new exciting releases coming up this year. Here is what the band stated about the line up changes and upcoming releases:
'Though some important changes happened in the Sear Bliss camp last year, there was no official statement here so far, as we decided to be in silence for some time. We concentrated only on the band, new songs, etc instead. What actually happened is that due to the disagreement and lack of chemistry among the bandmembers, the legacy of Sear Bliss will be carried on by a new line-up, which isn't really new actually. The band, which is still led by Andras is joined by the original guitar duo from the classic line-up of Sear Bliss, namely Janos Barbarics and Csaba Csejtei. Both of them played and took a very important role in Sear Bliss from the very beginning, being responsible for the sound of the band. Janos played on The Pagan Winter, Phantoms and Haunting albums and was the member of the band from 1993 to 1999. Csaba played on The Pagan Winter, Phantoms, Forsaken Symphony and Glory And Perdition album and was the member of Sear Bliss between 1994-1997 and 2001-2005.
On drums we have Olivier Zisko, who played and was responsible for many of the songs on the critcally acclaimed Forsaken Symphony album, though he played the keyboards back then. Being a highly professional drummer, his contribution will significantly raise the quality, intensity and power of Sear Bliss's music. As for the brass, we have a very talented young guy, Balazs Bruszel, playing the trumpet. We already had a few shows with this line up at the end of last year in Holland, Switzerland and Slovenia and the outcome was more than promising. We are heading to this new year with refreshed energy, unsurpassable perseverance and great plans, eager to show where we are after 16 years of existence with people who already proved they are capable for something really unique. Many quality live shows are planned for 2010, some of them are already revealed in the Upcoming Shows section of our myspace site.
There is also a new album in the making, which we plan to record in the summer, again for Candlelight Records. Meanwhile Vic Records is re-releasing all our previous albums with many extras. Plus the long awaited 15th year anniversary DVD entitled the 15th Commandment will be out soon on Vic Records as well. Andras besides Sear Bliss is focusing on his other musical projects too, such as Forest Silence, Nefarious and Star-Crossed (on Vic Records). Some materials are expected by these acts too. That's all in a nutshell. More will follow soon. We wish all the best and success to the leaving members.'
