“Due To Intolerable Stage Antics” MARDUK Switch Bassists

Swedish black metal trailblazers, Marduk, have announced the departure of bassist, Joel Lindholm. He'll be replaced for upcoming shows by the band's former bassist, Magnus "Devo" Andersson.

Says Marduk: "Following a variety of intolerable stage antics by a very drunk Joel at Incineration Fest last week, he has vacated his position in the band.  Our old friend and bass player Devo has agreed to step in on a temporary basis, so this is unlikely to affect any of upcoming shows."
