After the mid-tour departure of bassist/co-vocalist Adam Roethlisberger last September, Vitriol have replenished their ranks. Keith Merrow (Conquering Dystopia, Nightmarer, etc.) has joined up with the Portland, OR-based death metal band, assuming co-guitarist duties. A statement issued by the group yesterday, March 28th, reads as follows:
“We are very pleased to announce that @keithmerrow has taken up the reins as the co-guitarist in Vitriol. For anyone unfamiliar with Keith‘s work, he’s an intensely prolific artist, songwriter, and world-class player. We are extremely excited to bring him on as we approach the writing of LP3.
Here’s a statement from Keith himself,
“Vitriol reminds me why I love guitar and extreme music. There is an energy to the band’s sound that can only come from a place of true passion for extreme arts. I’m very excited and motivated to work with Kyle and Matt on upcoming tours and albums.”
It’s off to war!”
