Hungarian metallers Casketgarden have posted the following statement:

"We regret to say for the fans that after 7 years of playing together out bassist Gábor Őri left the band. That is also our first line-up change since 2001. He quit in friendly way by mutual consent. We would like to thank him also in this way for his great efforts, energy, time and money he put in this band. He was a real character in Casketgarden, I think.

On our next gig in Győr, Hungary on March 13 (with Escadron, Galadriel, Endless River) it seems we will play without bass, but we've already found a guy for the bass postition, he is learning the songs at the moment. He will play first on our gig in Leoben, Austra, on March 27."
