New drummer & other updates!!!

[Mendelssohn]

We are happy to announce the recruitment of a new drummer in shape of Thomas Wesley Antonsen (ex-Broadmoor) who during the rehearsals has proven to be a more than worthy replacement for our former drummer Lars Ström.

Thomas’ first task within the doomy framework of Altar of Oblivion will be to nail the drum parts for our sophomore effort “Grand Gesture of Defiance” which according to plan was supposed to be finished in July 2010. This release, however, will be delayed by some months due to the fact that instead of producing the album ourselves, which was the case with both our 2007 demo and our debut, we will this time enter a professional studio in order to achieve the best possible outcome.

Actually, everything apart from Mik’s vocals was recorded back in December 2009, but as we have grown and matured a lot as a band since then and after realizing the great potential of this new line up, we thought it would be a shame not to give the new tracks the treatment they truly deserve.

Greetings, Martin Meyer Mendelssohn Sparvath
