Thursday, October 8, 2009 - Grave Digger - Guitarist Manni Schmidt Leaves Band
News from Grave Digger vocalist Chris Boltendahl:

"We have to make an announcement that most of you probably never expected.

A band like Grave Digger has to develop constantly. The problem is that this is only possible if the musicians have the same goal and the same attitude. And they have to feel good with what they are doing.

If you have some permanent stress in the band, there is no more productive work possible and in the long run the music suffers from this situation.

Unfortunately there were so many disagreements recently building up between Manni (Schmidt, guitar) and myself, that this would affect the productivity and creativity in a bad way.

So Manni decided to leave Grave Digger.

This happened by mutual consent. We wish Manni all the best for the future and say thank you for many nice and eventful years.

There is no effect on the concerts that are already booked. The final word about a replacement guitar player has not yet been spoken. We first want to wait for the results of the rehearsals. After this we will introduce you to the replacement guitarist. We already spoke to a possible candidate and we will start the rehearsals in the next days."

Shame, the last album was really good as well, and now both the guitarists that played on it are gone...

The band never sounded great again, after The Gravedigger album so I don´t really care that much about it. With every release i hope they´ll come back to form but they never does :0(
