Garm left ARCTURUS

Eldzik · February 13th, 2003, 03:56 AM

Garm (aka Tricky G) has announced that he has left norwegian superband Arcturus. He said: "I no longer sing in Arcturus. I had to choose and down-prioritize a few things. My record label, Jester Records, has 30 CDs in the catalogue and I really want to work with my artists first hand, because I believe in all of them. Arcturus was ok as an offspring project, but the other members have tried to get serious about it now. They want to rehearse three times a week, and I can't commit to that. I'm not happy with this move, but it's something that has to be done".

The band have already found a replacement who will be announced soon.

man this is terrible news. what a great band, one of the best for sure even tho they put out only 3 albums. but, they are so fucking unique and the newest one is one of my all time favorit albums every. i really hate to see garm leave. he has such a strong, unique voice and he really brought some great shit to the band. this sucks.

This news is no good to me.
But Garm had a good point.
