Benjamin will act as the bands live bass player, until they find a permanent fourth member.
The band has this to say about the publications:
“It’s a huge honour for us to play at the 2011 Roskilde Festival and in particular with In Flames! Dreams can come true and we enjoy every second of this! We choose to put Lost in Violence up for online streaming, so all who feel like it can listen to the songs, because we want to spread our music to as many people as possible. All the people who have supported us throughout the years deserve much more than just being able to listen to the record, but that’s all we can do right now! We look forward to perform with Benjamin Atlas on bass duties, as he is more than competent to handle the bass playing, which Essence has presented to the world so far!”
