HANGING GARDEN parts ways with guitarist Saku Manninen

Here's a statement by bassist Matti Reinola:

"Due to chemistry problems between the two main song writers in the band, me and Saku, we are forced to clear the spirit inside the band by replacing Saku with a new guitarist. The decision was not an easy one, but thinking of the future of the band, i felt it necessary.

The preparation of the 2nd Hanging Garden album has been a rocky and slow path for us, mostly because of the above mentioned issue. Nevertheless, about 90% of the material for the new album is now ready.

Hanging Garden is now in search for a new guitarist. If you're interested, mail us a brief introduction of yourself at info(at)hanging-garden.net.

If a suitable person is not to be found before summer, HG will record the album as a 4-piece.

We wish the best for Saku in the future. His part of the band as a talented guitarist and songwriter, will certainly not be an easy hole to fill for us.

regards,

Matti Reinola / Hanging Garden"
