ZHRINE have announced that former ANGIST and OPHIDIAN I drummer Tumi Snær Gíslason will take over all duties on the sticks from long-time collaborator Stefán Ari Stefánsson. The dark Icelanders furthermore released tour-dates in the US and festival shows next year. Please see below for a list of concerts.
In a statement, which is agreed upon by all parties involved, the Icelanders comment: “After nine years of musical collaboration, we regretfully announce that our original drummer Stefán Ari Stefánsson has parted ways with ZHRINE. Since joining our friends from THE VINTAGE CARAVAN some years ago, his availability has obviously been much reduced and with the recent success of both bands our situation grew untenable.
The Icelandic bringers of darkness have furthermore announced a North American tour and a first set of festival shows in 2017. Please see below for a list of all currently confirmed dates with more to follow soon.
