New bassist joins Dimmu Borgir, then quits
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 26 August 2010
Good news Dimmu Borgir fans, the Norwegian black metallers have finally announced a replacement for bassist ICS Vortex (not his real name), who left the band last year. The bad news is, the new guy’s already quit. Or so it seems.
Therion’s Snowy Shaw (not his real name), formerly of Swedish metallers Therion, confirmed on Tuesday that he had stepped in as Dimmu Borgir’s new bassist.
However, the next day, Therion frontman Christofer Johnsson issued a statement to Blabbermouth, saying: “We are very happy to announce that Snowy has rejoined Therion. We welcomed him back with open arms, and we will now be making a mix between the new show we had planned, and the last one which involved Snowy. We think the merger between the two concepts will be incredible, and we look forward to taking the band’s live performance to the next level”.
Dimmu Borgir are due to play The Forum in London on 21 Sep.
