Alkaloid are set to release their new album, entitled Numen, this coming September, but they have issued a statement informing their fans that guitarist Danny Tunker is no longer part of the band, and actually hasn't been for a couple of years. The new album is the product of the remaining four members. Still, there will be one song of his in Numen, and there is no drama behind this decision.

Band statement: "We are sad to announce that Danny Tunker left Alkaloid almost 2 years ago. After going through some profound personal tragedies which had little to do with the band, he decided to adjust course and step away to focus on other endeavours. There was no drama and we all support his decision.

"After some time for reflection, we decided to make this new album with the four of us. There was plenty of material as always, and we are delighted to have one of Danny's songs on the album at least. It's one of our more insane tracks, and we look forward to sharing it with you all soon!

"Danny will be sorely missed. We remain good friends, wish him the best of luck in his new incarnation, and of course hope to work together again in the future in whatever form."
