The band also brings more of their 80’s inspiration into this track with Obsidian C. showing a lot more of his impressive solo skills.<br/><br/> Guitarist Obsidian C used the opportunity to reveal some unexpected news with the crowd at Inferno. Not only does the video show the band from a different side, but Obsidian C has now also taken over the vocal duties after singer Thebon seems to have disappeared in the African jungle.<br/><br/><em>“We haven’t heard from him in 5 months. He went to South Africa with his girlfriend and we received no life sign or answers to our messages.” </em>comments guitarist and now also front man Obsidian C.<br/><em>“Instead of waiting it out we just had to move on and I started testing the vocals in the studio myself, realizing my vocals were far from bad. I’ve always been the driving force of the band and I found it to be easier if I just managed to handle the vocals from now on instead of replacing Thebon with someone else. The worst part of this will of course be to do both vocals and guitars live, but it’s all a matter of practice, really. We now feel that this is the way to go and that the band is in fact stronger than ever!”</em></p> <p>(via <a href="http://us4.campaign-archive2.com/?u=3e43508ac796303376fe92ded&id=f8c3996bb3&e">Indie Recordings</a>)<em><br/></em></p> <p>_ _ _ _</p> <h5 class="uiStreamMessage userContentWrapper" data-ft='{"type":1,"tn":"K"}'><span class="messageBody" data-ft='{"type":3}'><span class="userContent"><strong>Official statement from Thebon regarding Keep of Kalessin press release.</strong><br/><br/> I´m not missing in the jungle, I went to study and relax for three months and did not hear anything from the band in that time. I got a message about a band meeting a week ago,but did´t reply because I was preoccupied with other projects, and I was deciding if I wanted to continue with KOK. <br/> Today I read in a press release that they have recorded new music, and even made a video,and fired me in public at the Inferno Festival. Clearly this proves that they have made their decision about me quite some time ago. This kind of loyalty and friendship is exactly one of the reasons I have been considering leaving the band for quite some time now.
