The Austrian black/death metal band Belphegor posted the following message on the official website:

"Barth has had an accident in January, resulting in a bad wound on the right hand. He had an operation, but at this time its uncertain whether he can play the bass for Belphegor again.
The band write in a statement: However, he´ll always be a member of Belphegor, taking care of the merchandise on the road and similar stuff now. Get well soon bro!
Belphegor absolved the recent gigs with a session bass player, named A.X. from Germany, who´s also gonna do the next shows.

With that being said Belphegor are currently looking for a bass player, anyone interested can contact the bands management through e-mail at: belphegor@aon.at

* u don´t need to be Austrian ( but able to rehearse in Austria )
* professional musicians only, preferably with stage-tour experience
