August 2, 2006 -- CHANGES THROUGH BLOOD, LIFE & DEATH
Dan Swanö is no longer part of Bloodbath. The reason being
restrictions on his behalf to devote more time and effort to the
future of this project that it would require by taking things to the
next level i.e. touring and playing live. Moreover, his future vision
for Bloodbath's concept proved to head in the almost opposite
direction as his desire for death metal was to be of a less brutal
kind, something the remaining members regard as musical differences
not interesting to pursue, so at these crossroads, we'd like to wish
Dan Swanö good luck with his future endeavors and with the music
that's closer to his heart.

The audition for Bloodbath is closed. We thank everyone who tried
out, but it's with dashing hopes we have to announce there's no
suitable replacement that matched our expectations. It was
surprising, how so many applications could barely be listened to
because of the extreme low quality in talent. We found it shocking to
say the least, that same applicants would send us emails claiming
they "killed" both of our previous singers, but all they could
achieve at the end of the day was our laughs or sighs. Well, one day
we can maybe throw together a little compilation of those efforts and
put up an exclusive mp3 right here and you'll be the judge, or have a
good laugh or sigh, like us! But this doesn't mean all the
applications were bad, actually a couple of them were damn fu**ing
good, but criteria's on other levels failed. Life goes on and so does
death!

Wacken will soon release their annual DVD, but despite what was
previously implied, the song 'Eaten' will not be featured on the 2005
edition. The entire footage of the show remains archived until
there's been clearances by all parties, a subject to time.

Stay tuned for more news on the development of Bloodbath and the
future.
