Astriaal Announces New Bassist, Dan Marsden of Infinitum

With the departure of Astriaal's live session bass player Cameron Grant to fulfil his fulltime commitments with Psycroptic, the band has announced that Dan Marsden (Infinitum/ex-Psychrist) has accepted the invitation to join Astriaal on bass duties. Dan has relocated to Brisbane, and will be a permanent addition to the band.

The band states: "We in ASTRIAAL greatly look forward to having Dan join the fold as rehearsals are already sounding intense. Being a longtime friend to all of us and harnessing masterful bass playing abilities, we see the future very foreboding indeed."

On the departure of Cameron, they further commented: "We in ASTRIAAL send a special thanks to Cameron for his commitment and brilliant live performances with us throughout 2010. A great bass player and a top bloke...legend!"
