According to Bravewords.com, UK progressive death metallers DE PROFUNDIS have parted ways with guitarist Roman Subbotin.

Vocalist Craig Land comments on the split: ”It was a very tough decision, but it had to be made due to a conflict of priorities. The band thanks him for his immense contribution over the years, and wishes him all the best for his future endeavours.”

A replacement is yet to be named, but De Profundis will honour all their forthcoming shows, with Paul Nazarkardeh (PHYREXIA, ex-CARPATHIA) stepping in, and will continue to work on their fourth album, tentatively due out early in 2014.
