NOSTRADAMEUS drummer Esko Salow has posted the following message on the band's official web site:

"This is a happy moment for us in NOSTRADAMEUS. Time has come for us too announce the latest addition to the band, a dear friend and excellent guitar player with the name Lennart Specht. After the decision too split our ways with Michael Åberg we decided to finish the album before starting the work [of] finding a replacement. We stood before the choice of lots of auditions and learning to live with people we didn't know or to take someone we already knew as a great guitar player and songwriter, and it sure was a easy choice that we don't regret. Specht has been playing together with Esko for the past 18 years in various bands and for the last eleven years with Thomas and Esko in PATHOS and later FEJD. We've already had the opportunity to learn and rehearse over 90 minutes' worth of live material and also started the songwriting process for our forthcoming album. The 'Pathway' album is set too be released 19th January 2007 and we are currently working with some gigs and tour options that will take place during the time for the album release.

"We hope too see you out there on a kick-ass tour and we know you're bound too like the album!"
