Eluveitie Parting Ways With Three Members

(TeamRock Radio) Eluveitie have announced they'll part ways with drummer Merlin Sutter, vocalist Anna Murphy and guitarist Ivo Henzi after next month's Nijmegen Fortarock Festival in the Netherlands.

The band claim that conflict of interest, rising tension within the band and the "different goals, wishes and ideas" of each member caused the split - but insist they wish the best for their former bandmates.

Eluveitie say: "Over the last years we all had to deal with interpersonal challenges within the band. Instead of pulling together, our days have rather been shaped by wearing friction and constant clash of interests. And thus we felt that we have become something we shouldn't have - that we've diverged from what Eluveitie was always meant to be - a band, a family, a passionate and deep-rooted group of musicians."
