WOVENWAR verliert Gitarrist Phil Sgrosso

Das Timing könnte denkbar schlecht sein: Am 21. Oktober veröffentlichen WOVENWAR ihr zweites Album „Honor Is Dead“ und jetzt das: Gitarrist Phil Sgrosso hat die Band auf eigenen Wunsch verlassen.

Allzu viele Hintergründe zum Ausstieg gab Sgrosso nicht preis, führte aber aus, dass er sich nun anderen musikalischen Zielen hingeben werde, darunter sein bisheriges Nebenprojekt POISON HEADACHE, welches im November und Dezember mit RINGWORM auch hierzulande auf Tour sein wird:

28.11. – Hannover, Béi Chéz Heinz

29.11. – Berlin, cassiopeia Berlin

01.12. – Jena, Rosenkeller e.V. Jena

02.12. – Hamburg, Indra Musikclub

03.12. – Münster, Sputnik Café

04.12. – Wiesbaden, Schlachthof Wiesbaden

“As some of you may have heard by now, I have decided to part ways with Wovenwar. Without getting into too many specifics, I have found myself more interested in pursuing other musical endeavors right now than devoting myself to the band.

Regarding the new album, I was fully involved with the writing and recording process just like any other album, as well as handling a larger portion of the producer duties and guitar engineering. I am proud to have this album as part of my discography and thankful to have had this time to push myself and explore new musical territory. I wish the band the best as they move on.

The rest of my year will be spent writing for several different projects as well as taking Poison Headache over to Europe for the first time with Ringworm and HIEROPHANT in Nov/Dec. Thanks to the fans for their support over the years—looking forward to seeing you out on the road soon.”
