Sahg - Announce Lineup Changes And New Album


The Norwegians Sahg have announced important changes in their line-up, and welcomed guitarist Ole Walaunet ( Grimfist, The Batallion, God Seed) and drummer Mads Lilletvedt ( Byfrost) to the band. Furthermore, the wait will soon be over for the follow-up to Delusions Of Grandeur. There will be a new Sahg album out in the spring of 2016 on Indie Recordings. The new album will continue in the vein of its predecessor.

Ole Walaunet is an experienced performer and is held in high regard in the Bergen metal scene. He is highly acclaimed for his skills as a guitar player and composer. Ole joined Sahg as a session guitarist on their European tours with Clutch and Sólstafir in 2014/2015, and is now a permanent member of the band.

Frontman Olav Iversen said: "The last two years Ole shared more time on stage with us than our original guitarist, so this was a natural step to take when Thomas Tofthagen decided to leave Sahg, with no hard feelings from either side. We are thrilled to finally include Ole as a permanent member."

Mads Lilletvedt has a background from bands like Hellish Outcast, Byfrost and Solstorm. The previous drummer, Thomas Lønnheim, left Sahg due to personal reasons, and there is no bad blood between him and the band.

The first performance of Sahg's new line-up will be at Trondheim Metal Fest 2015.
