Australian melodic death metal band Bane Of Isildur has announced the joining of not one or two but three new members. They will feature in the band's upcoming one-and-only performance for 2012 - Bastardfest.

Band vocalist Aaron Worboys posted the following statement: "After a relatively slow year on the performance front we would like to introduce 3 new members to the bane of isildur line up. Emerging from the deepest depths of Yggdrasil comes Ryan Bresler, a fresh face blasting into the metal scene in a furious tempest of drumming chaos. This warrior will bring speed, technicality and precision into the band and is one of the most solid drummers this band has seen.

Secondly on guitar, someone who is definitely accomplished in the Australian viking/folk metal genre, presenting Matt Bell. This position is not an easy one to fill but Matt has comfortably taken on the duties and is definitely a force to be reckoned with. Matt also may be recognised from his other bands; Wollongong viking folk masters - Troldhaugen and Sydney newcomers - Rise of Avernus.

Finally, on bass guitar, a man who needs no introduction to any battlefield. Rob Rampage, chieftain of maniac Sydney thrashers - Rampage. He has lain to waste many an enemy and isn't about to stop now, his crushing playing and performing style is said to be able to cleve any mans head from their pitiful walking corpse! All-in-all prepare yourselves for the battles to come, beginning with the almighty Bastardfest Brisbane on the 13th of October!"
