Update: Asomvel will definitely be performing at the Full Moon Dog Festival next month!
——————————————-
Harrogate’s very own heavy metal powerhouse Asomvel will possibly split up. The band issued the following statement, which was published on the Way of Darkness Festival website earlier today:
“ASOMVEL are no longer performing as a band for the foreseeable future. Although musically tighter than ever, guitarist, Lenny Robinson, does not feel the current line-up compares favourably to the classic ASOMVEL featuring founder member, Jay-Jay Winter ( R.I.P.) As many people are aware, Jay-Jay was an incredible persona, and the void left when he tragically passed has proven impossible to fill. ASOMVEL would like to thank Rich Walker for endeavours above & beyond as well as his continued support. Anybody who bought an ASOMVEL record, got off their arse & went to a gig, shared a Whiskey with Jay-Jay Winter, treasure it!”
The band had joined forces with new vocalist/bassist Conan in August, with a statement by the band announcing the ‘rebirth’. See blog entry HERE.
