Something is up in Abbath's band. Yesterday, we reported drummer Kevin Foley, a.k.a. “Creature,” announced he was leaving the band due to personal reasons, and guess what? Today, the guitarist of the band announced he also was leaving for personal reasons.
Guitarist Per Valla was interviewed by Collide and gave this statement:
“After having played as session guitarist with Abbath since May this year, I have recently decided that it is time for me to leave the band for personal reasons. I thank the guys for bringing me along on such an awesome ride, and for all the new friends I made in the process. I wish the guys the best of luck in the future.”
Seems pretty amicable but it's also quite a coincidence that both members left at the same time. It reminds me of the not-so-nice things Abbath's former bandmates in Immortal said about him, but I could just be reading into things.
