After 17 years with Crematory, guitar player Matthias Hechler decided to leave the band in early 2015, to concentrate on his private life and to explore new musical horizons. The successors are confirmed now, and for the first time ever, Crematory will play with two guitarists from now on. The band recruited two experienced guitarists: Tosse Basler, who will be handling the rhythm guitar and the clean vocals, and Rolf Munkes as the new lead guitarist.

The band comments regarding new guitarists: "Tosse Basler is in the music-business for over 30 years and played in bands like Poison Asp, Forty Shades, Scapegoat, Avalanche or Evolution, who's handling the rhythm guitar and the clean vocals. On the other hand, Rolf Munkes, who also has over 30 years of experience in the business, joined the band as the new lead guitarist. Rolf is also operating as a producer in his Empire Studios, were he worked with such acts as Majesty, Tony Martin (ex-Black Sabbath), Neil Murray (ex-Whitesnake and ex-Gary Moore), Don Airey (Deep Purple) or Doogie White (Michael Schenker Group).

"More guitars means more Metal! Crematory will hit the Kohlekeller Studio again, in September, to record their new album with producer Kristian Bonifer. And this album will cause some great surprises in spring 2016, which also marks the band's 25th anniversary. Crematory will play several festivals in the summer then."
