FROM Saturnalia Temple:
We are sad to have to inform that our drummer Jens Gustafsson, who joined the band earlier this year, left the earthly sphere this weekend. He fell from a sudden and acute medical condition and it was as unexpected as shocking.
In these last months he grew into the Temple as a wonderful brother and a fantastic drummer. He will be gravely missed. His total dedication, kindness and humour will echo our chambers forever. We ask all our fans to send his rising spirit a thought, to help it find its way into the other worlds, worlds of bliss and wisdom.
We have cancelled Geggan Festival. The band will go on though, holding up a chalice to his memory and as he would have liked it, never step back!
Saturnalia Temple has signed with Listenable Records. We are very happy to find a label who really believes in us here, and who will assist in spreading the Draconian Art on a higher level!! New album planned for 2014!
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-R.I.P. JENS GUSTAFSSON
