Monday Mosh – 10th October 2011
G’day everyone, Vaughan from GF here with the latest update. After some recent discussions, guitarist Simon Hoggett has decided to call time on his stint with the band. Simon let us know that he felt he needed to move onto other endeavours. Simon has had two stints in the band, playing a crucial role in the development of our sound over the last couple of years. It’s a shame that it hasn’t worked out long term with Simon, but we understand that he can’t continue with something that just isn’t working for him. He did complete all his guitar parts on the most recent album, so the release of that will be his swansong with the band. He has written and performed some killer material on the album. On behalf of Matt , Elias and myself, we thank Simon for his contribution to the band over the last couple of years. He really has made a difference to the band.
So what does the future hold now? Elias, Matt and myself have made the decision that I will return to my role as guitarist/vocalist in the band. Those of you who have been following the band for a while will know that I played guitar from 2004 until 2009, when Simon first joined the group. I’ve enjoyed focusing solely on my role as lead vocalist for the last 2 years, but I’m really excited about picking up the guitar again.
There has been a good amount of interest in the new album. Mixing is well under way and we are getting all the artwork, photo’s and liner notes together in readiness for a release. As soon as we have concrete details concerning a release date we will let you know. We are keen to get it out, but there’s always things that need to be organised before that can happen. The vibe recording this album was so positive, and that really comes through in the final recordings.
Remember each day that all things happen for a reason in God’s plan for our lives. Stay focused on Christ during every hour of every day, because you never know when the enemy will attack our thoughts. I’ve been blessed to have experienced a renewal in Christ over the last few months, and it’s so true that if you draw near to him he will draw to you. Our God is a great God and he alone is worthy of our praise. Stand strong in faith and serve God.
Until next time, God Bless and Rock On!
