Arven Parts Ways With Guitar Player Ines Thomé

Germany's Arven has checked in with the following announcement about parting ways with Ines Thomé:

"With great regret we have to inform you, that Ines won't come back as our guitar player in Arven. We want to thank her for the countless amazing experiences we shared in this band together and wish her all the best for her future musical career!

"Things must go on, and as you might have guessed we are in need for a new great female guitar player. So if you're interested watch out for more info about that coming soon! Ines, we will miss you so much and we won't forget the great times we spend together!

Ines also comments: "Dear Fans, I am very sorry to tell you that I won't come back to Arven as a guitar player anymore. My year in the USA was very exciting and it was a great experience pushing me towards my dream with the classical guitar. I have fallen in love with the country and the people and I decided to stay here to study in a doctoral program at USC in Los Angeles. I will pursue a doctoral degree in music (DMA) and this will take about 3 years, a time which is too long to be substituted for Arven.

"I am really sorry to leave the band and if it wouldn't be so far away I would love to try to continue playing! Unfortunately it is unrealistic and not good for the band if I won't be around.
I will always be in touch with the girls and Till and I will be their biggest fan, even if it is time for me to move on.

"Thank you all for the great time I had in my very first metal band I ever played in. It was an amazing time and I am happy that I had this experience. I hope the band will find a new member who is motivated and happy to play this wonderful music.

"Thank you all for the great support! Maybe some time our paths will cross again..."
