THE UK'S MITHRAS ANNOUNCE NEW LINE-UP... AND THEIR AVAILABILITY FOR LIVE SHOWS!

MITHRAS RECRUIT LIVE DRUMMER
Following the recent search to fill the long vacant live drummer spot, Mithras have now chosen their man. Previous live drummer / guitarist Ben White (Of Orbeth) departed the band back in 2003 and through a chance meeting which led to an explosive audition, has returned to the fold and his old drum seat. To their relief, this puts the UK's revered extreme metal protagonists back on the circuit for live performances, something they have missed hugely and are keen to return to without delay.

Rayner Coss (oratory/bass) says of Ben's return: "It's great to have Ben, one of our former members back in the band; he knows the material fantastically and is perfect for the role. We auditioned him and he nailed 11 songs taken from all our albums right off the bat, so we're really excited and looking forward to getting on stage for some shows asap!"

Of Ben's rejoining the band, Leon Macey (guitars) reveals that he "got in touch with Ben almost out of the blue during the drum auditions period to gather some material for our upcoming release, but one thing led to another and now we're slaying the tracks in the rehearsal room!"

And the man in question, Ben White (drums), adds: "Fate it seems has dealt a good card for us all! It was really cool when Mithras got back in touch again and as we have all evolved as musicians it seems to work better than ever now. It's good to be back!"

Mithras would like to thank all the drummers who applied for the position and sent in audio and videos. Best of luck with your future projects.

"Here's the guitar tablature for the track 'Worlds Beyond The Veil' from the album... you guessed it, 'Worlds Beyond The Veil'! I've not really followed tab convention with this, as I don't use tab at all EVER!!
