HOLY MOSES Announces New Bassist

May 6, 2008

Frontwoman Sabina Classen of he long-runnning German thrashers HOLY MOSES has issued the following update:

"We are right now working to end our production of the new album. I have to sing one more song and we have to finish the recordings of the bass parts. After that we will start in a few days with the endmix of the album at the Blue Castle Studio. We will have some very great guests on the album, but I will give you more information about that in the next weeks."

She continued, "Now it's for sure: With Thomas Neitsch we have decided to have a fifth bandmate. Oliver Jaath is still in the band. He gave the bass to Thomas and he is now playing the second guitar next to Michael Hankel. Thomas also plays in a band from Berlin called DESILENCE and with COURAGEOUS. You know Thomas because he did our website. Now Thomas played on the last weekend the first show with us. He is a great bass player with a great technique, power and very important for us, he is a great personality and fits really great to us. Our first show in Germany with Thomas and back as a five-piece band you will see HOLY MOSES live at Wacken Open Air 2008. So we like to say WELCOME Thomas into the HOLY MOSES Bloodbound gang."

HOLY MOSES has set "Bloodbound" as the title of its new album, tentatively due in September/October. According to a press release, fans can expect another "blast of old-school thrash with modern elements and the classic HOLY MOSES style," featuring "the queen of growls, Sabina Classen!"

An audio interview with Sabina Classen conducted on March 22, 2008 by Gino Alache of Rockum Radio (broadcasting out of Lima, Peru) is available for download at this location.
