31 March 08. Negative have announced that their new album “Karma Killer” will be released on May 7 in Scandinavia. The rest of Europe and Japan will recieve the album later this spring. The first single from Karma Killer is “Won’t Let Go”.
Also, Negative have announced that their new guitarist, replacing Sir Christus, is Gary.
“I’ve known the guys for about seven years, played at the same gigs with them with my own band etc., so when Negative was in need of a guitar player, Antti (NGT’s bass player) asked me to come up and try out with them, as they thought that I could fit into the band pretty nicely. Everything’s gone well so far, the mood inside the band is great and it just feel natural”, says Gary. (From Official Site)
