GODSPLAGUE Announces New Bassist, Parts Ways With Drummer

February 4, 2009

Helsinki, Finland-based metal act GODSPLAGUE has announced the addition of bassist Reeo Tiiainen to the group's ranks. According to the band, "[Reeo's] been a good friend with the guys for many years and is also a very skilled musician."

In other news, GODSPLAGUE has parted ways with Atte Sarkima and is currently rehearsing with a top Finnish drummer on a session basis until the band has found a permanent replacement.

GODSPLAGUE is writing songs for its fourth album and is planning to go into studio in the spring/summer.

The band's third album, "H8", was released in September 2007 via Stay Heavy Records. According to the group's official bio, "GODSPLAGUE's music is a mix of heavy, downtuned guitar riffs, overdriven bass and powerful drum grooves. If BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, C.O.C. and DOWN get your juices going, heads banging and fists shaking, GODSPLAGUE is the band for ya."

The members of GODSPLAGUE musicians are well known and active in the Finnish metal scene. Vocalist Nico is also known from his history in the metal band DRIVE and from his live appearances with SUBURBAN TRIBE. Guitarist Euge Valovirta is also part of SUBURBAN TRIBE and is an ex-DRIVE member as well. He's also played with WALTARI, LENINGRAD COWBOYS, LULLACRY and THE BLACK LEAGUE.
