Official press release:
Legendary Dutch death metallers PESTILENCE have joined forces with Dario Rudić as the band’s new full-time bass player, following their split with Roel Käller in September. Rudić comments:
“Hello, I’m Dario Rudić from Zadar, Croatia. I’m 44 years old and I’ve been playing music since I was 15. I’ve been listening to metal my whole life and of course one of the first death metal bands was Pestilence, who were my role models then and now. Not even in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that one day I would get the chance to play with these greats. I’m looking forward to sharing the stage with the masters from Pestilence and opening new musical Portals with them.”
Rudić steps in as the band is about to embark on a string of tour dates that starts in late November with a one-off show in Italy, and continues through December with a three-date run in Spain (together with Cancer) and eight headlining shows in the UK — the Echoes of Horror tour — including stops in Manchester, Glasgow, and London.
