Gli Svart Crown annunciano che il batterista Nicolas “Ranko” Muller ha lasciato la band, questo il comunicato ufficiale:
Dear friends, close ones and others, dear Svart Crown fans, I quietly announce to everyone of you that I leave the band. We’re still friends, this decision is purely personal and natural to me. I’m thinking about it since a bunch of time. I want to be honest with one thing : I’m really proud to have been a part f this journey, I travelled around the whole world and met a lot of great people. Guys, I won’t forget. I had the chance to be a part of it and I wish the best to the guy who will take my seat with those killer dudes, built for the stage and the road. I will stay active in music, don’t worry for that, I just had to leave the “big thing” because of positive changes in my life, that’s why I’m just feeling good and I feel absolutely no regrets. I leave a great band, to make great things by myself, and everyone will continue the way we chose. I love everyone of you so much, I hope you will miss me a little, but be sure I stay near. Hail Satan, or something like that.
A cui rispondono le parole del chitarrista/cantante JB Le Bail:
Time’s passing and each one’s priorities can change, but the band’s entity stays the most important to me . SVART CROWN is really demanding, in terms of personnal investment, energy and time, and it’s really different from the way of life that Ranko needs now. The band loses an outstanding musician and a roadmate, and we wish him the best for the future.
But We’ll be back stronger after a short break this summer, numerous plans are running for us. Everything will be announced ASAP, and nothing will stop us.
