DARKANE

Guitarist checks in

Guitarist Christofer Malmström of Swedish metallers DARKANE has issued the following update: "The New Year has begun and we in DARKANE are very positive about what's to come. We have the massive North American tour with SOILWORK, WARBRINGER and SWALLOW THE SUN starting in Rochester, New York in only one week. We are very excited about this and we hope to see as many of you as possible there. When the tour is over we are once again going to play the Tivoli in our hometown Helsingborg (April 4), and then we are going to do some very cool summer festivals that we will announce quite soon.

"You might have seen it already on some metal news sites, but Klas (Ideberg) will not be able to participate on the whole American tour. This is because the tour is extremely long, and it’s hard to be away from obligations back home and Klas, unfortunately, has his reason to fly back home after the Mokena, Illinois show. This is, of course, very sad for us and Klas, but at the same time we are very happy to welcome former ONWARD/WAXEN, current solo-performing guitarist Toby Knapp to join us for the rest of the tour! Toby didn’t hesitate to step in and help us out, and we are very thankful and happy that he will be a part of DARKANE for the last month of the tour. He has recently released a solo album called 'Misanthropy Divine'. Check it out if you are into quality metal guitar playing!"
