Deadsoil replaces two members
German metal/hardcore outfit Deadsoil (Lifeforce Records) has announced the departures of singer Friedrich Weber and bassist Andreas Schuessler. The band had the following to say regarding Weber's exit:
"Friedrich left the band due to personal and healthy reasons. Apparently his vocal chords suffered injury at one of his last shows with the band in Slovenia [and] permanently causes him pain when singing. Without going too deep into the details, this certainly was in no way a nice thing to decide but the band felt it was better to go different ways musically as well."
Meanwhile, Schuessler had the following explanation for his departure:
"After due consideration I came to the conclusion that it would be better for me to leave Deadsoil. It was in no way an easy decision! Since I joind the band in winter 2005 I can only look back on good times. I met so many awesome people and bands and had tons of fun being a part of the band.
"Me parting ways with Deadsoil has in no way to do with any bandmember at all, quite the contrary. I feel bad about leaving and disappointing my friends but we felt the decision together that it would be better for me to stop.
"The main reason for this decision is the huge distance I had to travel to get to the rehearsal room at least twice a month. From my house to the room and back, it's a distance of over 400 for 2 hours of rehearsal... it turned out to be a big financial burden lately. You know, if you are not 100% down with something anymore you should be honest with yourself and the people involved and [accept] the consequences."
Deadsoil's vocals are now being handled by former Machinemade God singer Florian Velten, while Jogi Neumann (ex-Impure) has joined the group on bass.
