The New Guy

[ND Mike]

Hi Everybody,

My name is Mike Feldman and I am the "New Guy". (I'm sure that Sasha is grateful that I officially stripped him of that title) I was lucky enough to play my first show with Novembers Doom on 11/14/09. I went down to Florida with the rest of the band last week to shoot the video for A Eulogy for the Living Lost and for some of you, that will probably be the first time that you'll see me. I'm really excited to be a part of this band and to contribute to the legacy of Novembers Doom. We're gonna be hitting the road soon and I'm looking forward to getting out there and playing for all of you. Take care and thanks for all the support. See you soon!

Cheerz

[ND Mike]

Nope. I'm not related to this one either...though I do have a sister named Kori.

It wouldn't be the same if we did!

Change is usually good for us. It keeps us fresh, and pushing forward.

i can understand that, I just hope chris keeps producing you're guys stuff, his production is simple amazing!

Welcome dude.

The split was inevitable. As the band is getting more and more opportunities to travel, and many of these coming at shorter and shorter notice, Chris runs a very busy recording studio, and he can't always alter his schedule to accommodate the band. He did an amazing job and made a lot of sacrifice over the past few years, and put his life on hold many times for us, and i'm personally grateful for it all. We've just reached a point where scheduling was becoming more and more difficult to work around, so the best solution for both parties was to focus on priorities, and when you run a business as your bread and butter, to us, this was obvious.

We have NO hard feelings, in fact, just the opposite. Chris is and will ALWAYS be a part of our family, and we very much want to continue working with him in the studio.

Welcome to the fold, Mike. You are among good friends of mine.

 

[AnTz0r]

Thanks for clearing it up Paul, although it's none of our business of course.

And in that case, Chris, thanks for making the time to play live for us for these last couple of years

 

[great_kthulu]

alright everyone, time to raise a drink to chris, for the time and efort he's put into the band over the years, may his production stay a part of the ND sound for many years!

Now another drink to mike, hopeing for many albums to come, holding down the low end of the sound for us!

Im in a festive mood, its christmas eve!

Thanks for clearing it up Paul, although it's none of our business of course.

Most time there's a split, people use the usual "Musical differences" to hide something else and this is just not the case. It's simply scheduling, nothing more.
