“Due to personal reasons bassist Mikkel Larsen is no longer a part of MNEMIC and we wish him the very best for the future from all of us. We had some great times, mate! With that said we are very happy to announce and welcome our new bassplayer Tomas “Oberst” Koefoed. Amongst friends and enemies also known as “O’beast”. “O’beast” recently parted with danish Truck’n Rollers GROPE. He is now rockin’ hard with MNEMIC. We’ve been rehearsing a few times and this guy just completes the picture with new heavy and groovy basslines. HELL YEAH!!! So please welcome “O’beast” to the world of MNEMIC and make sure you experience this, live in a not too distant future.”
