AMASEFFER Parts Ways With VANDEN PLAS Singer ANDY KUNTZ

May 28, 2007

Drummer and main songwriter Erez Yohanan of AMASEFFER has issued the following update:

"With sad hearts and mixed emotions we are sadly announcing that Andy Kuntz [lead singer of German progressive metal band VANDEN PLAS] will not sing on our trilogy of albums and the lead singer role is now open.

"After a long period of delays and set backs to our working progress it was decided that the best thing for AMASEFFER is to search for a new lead singer that will be committed to his part in the trilogy.

"The damage to our schedule due to Andy's unavailability could no longer be tolerated in order to go forward with the release of the first part of the Exodus trilogy.

"It was not an easy decision for us. Andy is a wonderful person which we loved working with, we wish him all the best in the world and good luck in what he is striving for. I'm sure that it is not the end of the road for Andy in AMASEFFER, as far as we see it, we will collaborate with him in one way or another some day but for now it's time for us to move on and find the best man for the job to join us on our holy voyage.

"Currently we are auditioning a few leading singers and we will announce our choice in the next couple of weeks.

"Regardless, we will not rush our decision due to our time schedule, the lead singer role is an integral part of our trilogy and we will not compromise the singer's quality even if it means that by doing so it will push us back a few steps."

AMASEFFER's trilogy of albums is being recorded in three separate sessions. ORPHANED LAND singer Kobi Farhi will narrate the albums, which will feature artwork by acclaimed artist Mattias Norén (AYREON, EVERGREY). Also scheduled to make an appearance is ARCH ENEMY frontwoman Angela Gossow.
