Former ANNIHILATOR Bassist Continues Work On Solo EP, Lines Up Guest Appearances

July 28, 2005

Former ANNIHILATOR bassist Russell Bergquist has posted the following message on his official web site:

"[I] have a few recording projects that I will be participating in over the next six months or so. First off, the drums will be recorded for my solo project starting on August 1. Unless, of course, Ryan Van Pooderoyen (DEVIN TOWNSEND BAND drummer) breaks a leg or something. Following that I will record the bass, rhythm guitar parts and vocals throughout the month of August and probably September. Also, the guitar solos will be done during this time as well.

"I have not finalized who exactly will be doing these solos but I know for sure that Joop Wolters will do a few. Also Scott Webb, an old friend of mine and guitarist in a band I was in a number of years ago called FREAKS BY NATURE.

"I have no title for this project yet other than my name and have not yet figured out distribution. It will be five songs. Stay tuned!!! I am also going to do some bass tracks for the new Joop Wolters project. He is doing a metal-style record with vocals (most of his music is instrumental) and has asked my to play on some of it. Joop is a pretty fucking wicked guitar player so I am sure it will be a challenge, which I look forward to.

"And, last but certainly not least, [French composer] Vivien Lalu has got the same lineup from his first solo album returning for his second, which will be titled 'Temporal'. I have heard some of the tracks already and it sounds awesome. Also, drum legend Virgil Donati will be guesting on a couple of tunes. All the other details for this record, and Joop's, will come at a later date."
