Charon Parts Ways With Guitarist Pasi Sipila
Finland's Charon has issued the following update about parting ways with guitarist Pasi Sipilä:
"New decade brings changes to Charon and now it's good time to update the situation. There have been rumors among Charon fans and followers about the future of the band. Playfully it could be said that Charon was not able to escape the cold grip of ongoing recession and had to go through re-organization and layoffs.
"After taking some time out last summer we were not able to tune our engine to the needed pace for the studio sessions. We had written a bunch of new songs during the last couple of years but were not able to put them on record. After a long pondering and going through different alternatives, it was inevitable that we cannot output the next album in this mood of confusion. As a consequence guitarist Pasi Sipilä has left Charon.
"Charon will continue playing and writing songs as a quartet. At the moment we are looking forward to new working methods and finding new ways to surprise our fans and to challenge band mates with no boundaries on style or sound. We would like to thank Pasi for all his work for Charon during the years and wish him good luck with music!
"We were glad to notice on our November gig that fans still believe in our work. It really kicks us forward and gives us a reason to continue. Hopefully we will meet again soon! We wish all our fans and friends great and interesting new year 2010! Charon will be entering the studio in March to record couple of new songs. Brand-new track will be released in March at our website in free internet download!"

@ Susi...I am so mad, and i can´t be without saying anythung!! I just had to say that it is really RUDE of them to put that kind of "information" when they know that sooner or later try will come out!!
I simply don´t understand what could possible be the reason to do this is in THIS WAY and hurt someone very hard by saying that!
by the way..those are not the only 2 options ( left and kicked out ) ..
there is the third one.. much worst!!

Honestly I can't think about a third option... I'm slow XD
But ok, this announcement has left me with a lot of unanswered question. Charon is on hiatus since 2007, more or less, if the "problem" was "just" that Pasi lost his interest in the band why wait for three more years?
Sigh... and still, I con't wait for the single to be released, because I love too much charon's music.
Sad situation :(
