It did not come as a complete surprise but somehow it was inevitable, as one will find out when reading the Undertakers last obituary. It is with full understanding we part our ways with long-time friend and brother, so cheers to you and may Cthulhu guard your steps!!! B.UNDERTAKERS STATEMENT: Deathchain has come to a point where in order to grow bigger and more known as a band, more and more tours outside Finland must be done. It seems that Deathchain is going to be pretty busy on that matter. That means months away from Finland and for me, also months away from my day job. In my current situation in life, that job is something I just can’t afford to lose. Especially when doing tours as a support, usually there’s no income of any kind and for me that situation is financially impossible. It’s not fair that the whole band would be held back just because of me. Furthermore, I totally agree with the rest of the band that using someone to replace me on tours is totally lame and just plain stupid. Either you’re in, or you’re out and I’m sad to announce that under these circumstances, I am out of Deathchain. This is probably the hardest decision I’ve ever made. Deathchain has been a huge part of my life. We have done three albums and over 100 shows all around Europe, I’ve made a lots of friends on our gigs and met great bands, not to mention the fellow band members who have become one of my best friends. I will continue playing and with Corpse we have agreed to work together in the future. I wish all the best for Deathchain and thank you for the best years of my life. Stay metal, B.Undertaker BLOOD IN – BLOOD OUT: We have found a new brother, who will join our hordes under the name of Cult! There is no need to write about his past in here, because the future will show you that he is the right man for the job. We are already writing the next opus and Kult is deeply involved in the writing process, this is how strongly we trust him. So greet him with a pint of lager when you see him on this years shows! -Deathchain Squad- RECODINGS OF THE NEW ALBUM: Deathchain will head up to studio for the recordings of their fourth album on May. As an engineer and producer works band´s long time live sound engineer Jari "Tupi" Tuomainen. Tupi handled the same duties on Deathchain´s previous album Cult Of Death which were released on May 2007. “Death Eternal” is the working title of the upcoming album and it will be released at the beginning of October. Yet unnamed album will be released during the September/October. Deathchain is known from their furious live performances and uncompromising attitude towards their deathrashing mayhem! 25.01.2008 Once again Dynamic Arts Records will participate to Finnish Metal Expo on 15th - 16th of February.
