Heed Part Ways With Drummer and Bassist

HEED, the new Swedish band featuring former LOST HORIZON members Daniel Heiman (vocals) and Fredrik Olsson (guitar), have parted ways with drummer Mats Karlsson (stand-in drummer for LOST HORIZON's Spanish tour) and bassist Jörgen Olsson (ex-SEVENTH ONE). Their replacements have already been chosen and the new members took part in the video shoot for the song "Last Drop of Blood", which began on Saturday, December 17.

Commented Daniel and Fredrik: "This band has never been hotter. Finally we seem to have found the right essence for a perfect band!"

"Last Drop of Blood" comes off HEED's debut album, "The Call", which was released in Japan on October 21.

As previously reported, HEED are continuing to negotiate with various record labels regarding the worldwide release of "The Call".
