The Swedish death metal band made the announcement on Monday via their Facebook page. They told fans, "Tobias is no longer a member of Necrophobic.

"The verdict following his trial regrettably left us, the band, with no other choice. As stated before, Necrophobic do not accept or tolerate domestic violence in any way.

"We will now search for a replacement. Tobias will make a statement of his own within the next couple of days, which he will publish on his Facebook page."
