En abril deserciones mil... Se va el teclista de Opeth, Per Wiberg Keyboardist Per Wiberg has been relieved of his duties in Opeth as part of a mutual decision with the band. Keyboard duties on upcoming tours will be handled by a musician who is already rehearsing with the band. Said musicianÂ’s identity will be released at a later date. Vocalist/guitarist Mikael Ã…kerfeldt released the following statement about the matter: Â“Well, itÂ’s been somewhat of a revolving door of members during the last couple of years, and now, Per is no longer a member. Mendez, Axe and Fredrik and I came to the decision that we should find a replacement for Per right after the recordings of the new album, and this came as no surprise to Per. He had, in turn, been thinking about leaving, so you could say it was a mutual decision. ThereÂ’s no bad blood, just a relationship that came to an end, and thatÂ’s that. We wish Per the best, and he did a splendid job recording keyboards for the last record, which stands as his final recording with Opeth.Â”
