CHAOSBREED Part Ways With Singer And Guitarist, Seek Replacements

April 8, 2005

Finnish death metal supergroup CHAOSBREED have officially parted ways with guitarist Esa Holopainen (AMORPHIS) and vocalist Taneli Jarva (ex-SENTENCED, THE BLACK LEAGUE). The group's statement on the matter reads as follows:

"Since April 6, Taneli Jarva and Esa Holopainen are no longer members of CHAOSBREED. Declining to make the upcoming tour with GRAVE they had agreed on and known about months in advance without a valid excuse is the main reason why they cannot continue in the band anymore. More info will be available soon.

"The band is looking for replacements (mainly a guitar-player/singer) and committed members to complete the upcoming tour in Finland with GRAVE, the European tour in October and all future recordings. Any interested parties should send mail to [email protected]."
