There are a lot of questions as to why I'm going with Obituary. This is about as much as an answer as there is really. http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=141368

I'm only going for these shows that are posted above, it's just temporary, I'm not replacing Frank. I don't know who will, or if the band is worried about replacing him, I really don't ask, it's not my business. I know that Terry Butler from Six Feet Under has been doing most of the shows with them after Frank. But Terry has shows with SFU now, and that's why John and Don called me.

Sadus and Obituary have done a lot of shows over the years, over the past two decades really. They showed us the ropes on our first tour ever. This is not some session gig, it feels already natural and comfortable to be travelling again, and sharing the stage with good friends...but this time I share the stage with them for the same songs actually, instead of playing before them...!
Metal.

Graspop Festival in Belgium.
You can see the new "Trident" set up on the Thor Bass.
The first 2 shows went really killer, and we play here in Helsinki Finland tomorrow. The sun really never goes down here, the sunset and sunrise are slowly developing over a lot of hours, and the night sky is very brief.
So I say:
Hyvä päivä!

I saw a picture of you playing with obituary and saw the three strings, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.

Wow, nice pics Archtur.

Hey a little OT but here's a vid of Victor playing with his Trident setup, inadvertently though. There's a lot of wanking for a while but he does play some amazing stuff after a while.
