Abbath - Live Guitarist Quits


After the split with Immortal, frontman Olve Eikemo (Abbath) formed Abbath but is already facing another line-up change. Following the recent departure of drummer Kevin Foley (Creature), now it's live guitarist Per Frank Valla who jumps ship. Both cited personal reasons to leave the band while Abbath hasn't addressed any of this so far.

Speaking exclusively with Collide, Valla has offered the following statement: "After having played as session guitarist with Abbath since May this year, I have recently decided that it is time for me to leave the band for personal reasons. I thank the guys for bringing me along on such an awesome ride, and for all the new friends I made in the process. I wish the guys the best of luck in the future."

Valla will continue to play with Vredehammer, who are due to release their new album Violator on February 5th 2016.

As for Abbath, their self-titled debut album will be released on January 22nd, 2016 via Season Of Mist.

Seems that Mr. Crab Dance isn't so much fun to play with.

I think the whole point of mask is that they can change as many drummers as they want but keep the mask (and the "creature" image).
now who actually dont fit the band imagewise is Tom Cato because of lacking self-irony.

I'm sure Demonaz and Horgh are at home laughing at how fast Abbath is falling apart.

Abbath is a one-man band with hired musicians. These guys probably left because they were offered too low rates for their live appearances. Abbath will find someone new very soon. All he has to do is to pay them a bit more.
