Evergrey - Bassist Leaves, Replacement Announced
Michael Håkansson has decided to part ways with Evergrey. The new bass player will be the band's long-time friend Fredrik Larsson (Hammerfall, Cans). Michael has left the following message for all the Evergrey fans:
"After a long time of consideration and many, many hours of thinking I now, with sadness, announce my departure from the band.
I have been a part of the band for seven years and during that time I have experienced so much and I have seen more than I ever thought I would. But now it is time for me to say goodbye.
My reason for doing this is that I feel a strong urge to do something different in music. This is the one and only reason and it's 100% my own decision.
I want to thank the boys for all the good times we have had together thoughout the years. I wish them the best of all success, something they truly deserve and without doubt will achieve."

I hope he will concentrate more on Embraced from now on. I love Evergrey, but that's nothing in comparison to Embraced.

Michael Håkansson is a very cool bass player, a shame he's gone. Ive seen them live 2 times now. The second time i saw the new bassplayer. And i think he sure is a good replacement. No need to worry:)

Swedish metallers EVERGREY have officially parted ways with bassist Fredrik Larsson ? only nine months after he was recruited as the replacement for Michael Håkansson. A replacement bassist has not yet been announced. Håkansson has since joined fellow Swedes HAMMERFALL. On Metal archives it says that Larsson quit Evergrey to retorun to HammerFall, but on Blabbermouth it says that Hakansson joined HF...strange. Edit: From HF official site, Fredrik Larsson is the new HF bassist.
