Blood Red Throne Parts With Vocalist, Announces Return Of Bolt
Well that was quick, after parting ways with former vocalist Yngve "Bolt" Christiansen and recruiting, Martin Berger the Blood Red Throne status quo has been restored with the departure of Martin and return of Bolt. The band comments:
"OK people, life is full of sudden turns...and there's just been one again in the BRT camp. I don't want to go into details and you can speculate as much as you want, but the fact is that Martin is retiring from BRT.
"Many will jump to the conclusion that he...or we couldn't handle the negative feedback from some of you regarding the vocals. But the fact is that it's on a very personal level and Martin needs to sort things out in his life. Playing in all his bands and especially being challenged to front BRT is hard and impossible at this very moment.
"Therefore, we have mutually agreed that he will step out and let Bolt come back again. I know some fans will appreciate this and the rest of us are excited to have Bolt back. Bolt was going through extreme conditions and time pressure when we split with him, but things have changed for the better and he's more hungry and focused than ever to kick ass with us.
"Despite the fact we've already sent the master CD for our new album, we've decided along with Martin that this will be withdrawn and Bolt will put his vocals on it. Meaning he will use Martin's lyrics, vocal lines and titles still. So Martin plays a big part on this album no matter what. He also mixes and masters it, so let's give it up for him!
"It's even his fuckin' birthday today, so a big cheers from the BRT guys and from you as well we hope! Due to this, things will be a bit delayed, but we promise the album will be out early 2016 and we're gonna play A LOT live next year!"
