Came across this and thought it'd be off some intrest.

Long-running Swedish metallers DESTINY have found a replacement for
the departed Janne Ekberg in former member Floyd Constantin, who
played on the band's second album, "Atomic Winter", and was a member
of DESTINY between 1986 and 1988. Before joining DESTINY the first
time, Floyd was an original KING DIAMOND member but was replaced by
Andy La Rocque before the first KING DIAMOND album was completed.

Commented the band in a statement: "Since leaving DESTINY he and the
band lost contact until we (Floyd Constantin and Stefan Björnshög)
bumped into each other a couple of years ago in Jönköping, Sweden.
The next time we talked was last year when I called Floyd to ask his
permission to add one of his unreleased DESTINY songs as a bonus
track for the re-recording of 'Atomic Winter'. Floyd agreed and was
invited to take part in the whole re-recording project that will take
place later this year. After this we kept in contact and when Janne
left the band both Floyd and I was interested in getting together
again to see if the old magic still was there. When the Tony Martin
gigs was offered we decided that this was the right time to stop
talking and start playing and here we are."

Floyd was kicked out of King Diamond for some 'hard partying'. Never
knew he surfaced anywhere else. Anyone heard this band?

Stay Heavy!
