Joris Boghtdrincker has left folk metallers Heidevolk. His last show was the Paganfest gig in New York. The band will soon start the search for a suitable replacement for the low vocal parts of their characteristic dual clean vocals. No live shows will be affected or cancelled by this and stand-in vocalist Mickael will take care of the vocal parts for the live shows to come until a new vocalist has been found.

The band "wants to thank him for everything he has done during the more than ten years that he was a member of the band. We cherish the experiences of the last decade and we wish him all the best for any future music adventure."

Joris personal message to everyone: "After ten great years with Heidevolk, new horizons are beckoning me and I feel it is time for a change. I want to thank all involved in Heidevolk for the good times we had, and I want to wish them all the best in their future endeavours. To all the people I met and had the honour of performing for: it has been a pleasure and I am deeply thankful for all the memories. Wæs þu hæl!"
