Carpathian Forest - Bassist Taking A Break, Struggling With Health Issues
Carpathian Forest's bassist Daniel Salte aka Vrangsinn has decided to take a break from the activities with the band, primarily due to physical and mental health issues. His full statement can be read below.
Statement from Vrangsinn as follows: "Dear friends and beloved enemies. After a lot of thinking and consulting with my beloved bandmates, I have decided to take a break from Carpathian Forest. There are many reasons for this. My health has been quite bad lately. I have had problems with my arms for several years and at times I can hardly play instruments anymore.
"Lately I also had a lof of "interesting" mental issues. Not only your usual depressions, but hearing voices, having visual hallucinations, etc. I think it is perhaps time to figure out what the hell this is all about. Because the world is beginning to look a bit freaky to put it mildly.
"Third but not last. I have criminal charges to deal with. I will most likely end up in prison for growing cannabis. That one is something I am absolutely not sorry for doing. No matter how hard they decide to punish me, I did nothing wrong. I Knowingly broke the law and I understand the state has a duty to punish me and I am ok with that. I am however not sorry, not ashamed and I believe it should be the duty of each and every man to break the law when the law is immoral.
"I want to thank my bandmates for being understanding and supportive and always standing behind me 100%. You guys are the best. I fucking love you! I also need to stress that I am not leaving the band. I will just not be doing any more live shows until I am physically and mentally well enough to do so. I will continue to work with them musically in the studio, contribute with writing music and so on.
"And perhaps some day you will see me on stage with the band again. Stranger things have happened in this old brew of a world we live in. The upcoming gigs in Germany this weekend will be your last chance to see me live with Carpathian Forest for the unforeseeable future.
"In the meantime I will try to see friends, get professional help, work with my tiny Vrangsinn and the arsonists project, do a few club gigs as a vocalist with them, record an album and whatever awaits around the next corner.
Best regards, VRANGSINN."

Sad but cannabis and drugs might make those problems and using drugs it make bad name to the metal

It sounds like there might be something other than the growing weed charge as well? Weird statement.

Written by Boxcar Willy on 20.12.2022 at 03:07 I agree, in Norway you do fine in prison, and besides this band is know whit anti social FTW, so you never know what he did. That mental state dont comes just like this, drug abuse can be reason.

Written by Bad English on 19.12.2022 at 18:08 Cannabis can indeed induce psychosis if used by someone who is predisposed to such things. Perhaps this is what triggered his symptoms, perhaps not...

Written by Netzach on 24.12.2022 at 02:12 Yes but band has antic WTF burner attitude, it can be connected. I bet its cannabis.

Written by Netzach on 24.12.2022 at 02:12 I was going to state this also. In The United States cannabis is having a sort of renaissance and attitudes are very much changing towards it, even across our bat-shit crazy political landscape. Some people blindly claim it cures all sorts of things or at least helps people. I smoke cannabis but I don't really hold these sentiments. I feel it just helps me unwind and is no calories unlike alcohol (the munchies are another story though). I don't really know what I came here to say, but people need to be careful with what they put in their bodies; everyone is affected differently. Some of my friends who smoke everyday are definitely going off the deep end with depression. Be careful out there y'all!
