New drummer found / new song downloads

The search is finally over :)
We are very glad to announce Maarten Harms will be joining departure on drums.

Also new songs will be posted as downloads very soon so keep watching the Departure website.

Drummer Wanted!!! / upcomming DVD news

Well, it´s been terribly quiet here for the last few months but hopefully things will turn around soon.
Sadly after our last gig in april Clemens decided to quit Departure and this left us without a drummer. Due to his unique style and technical ability it proved very difficult to find a new drummer.
As of today we will be placing ads for drummers in various places and we hope to be announcing something soon.

On a brighter note, work is progressing nicely on the upcoming DVD that was shot during our last gig in april.
We will be offering this as a download when it´s finished.
As a preview you will find a few songs recorded that night in the media section. Enjoy!

And ofcourse, the drummer wanted ad in dutch:

Departure zoekt drummer!!

Ben je een drummer die van meerdere markten thuis is?
Heb je een open minded muzieksmaak?
Kan je zowel blasten als sfeervol drummen?
Wil je veel live spelen?
Wil je aktief meewerken aan nieuwe nummers?

Check dan de liveopnames op http://www.departuremetal.com en neem contact op via drummer@departuremetal.com als de muziek je aanspreekt.

Als band hebben we als uitgangspunt dat we onszelf niet in een hokje willen plaatsen en muziek willen maken die we zelf gaaf vinden. We hebben een vaste oefenruimte in Zwolle, waar we elke zaterdagmiddag te vinden zijn.
