After almost 13 months of playing together & releasing new materials, Dreadhammer has announced that they have parted ways with their bassist Padmarag Banerjee. The band came up with this revelation in their social media feeds wishing the bass player the very best for his future endeavors.
‘With a heavy heart, we have to bid farewell to our beloved @_bohemianrobo_ (Padmarag Banerjee) on bass. He has had a great year this year having played two kickass gigs. We wish you all the best for your future endeavors and you’ll always be a part of the hammer family.’ The band said in their social media post.
A quintessential thrash metal outfit, Dreadhammer, since its inception, has taken the local Kolkata metal scene by storm with their early impressive releases. Made in the mould of thrash icons like Overkill and Anthrax, their fan-favorite singles like ‘Violence is the Cure’ and ‘Destroyer (Born to Kill’ has cemented their place as one of the important names in the Old School metal scene of the Eastern region of this country.
Padmarag came in as the replacement of their original bassist Suprovo Choudhury, who left the band back in December 2019. Since then, Mr. Banerjee has successfully filled in the void and also been a part of some successful shows all over the region with his rather brief spell with the group. Their latest release is a single titled ‘Trail of Severed Heads’ which was released in December last year to critical acclaim.
The band also mentioned in their post that they would be announcing a new addition to their band soon, thus hinting at a possible new bass player is on the way.
