So... is anyone shocked?
This band and the singer issue... wow.
If my math is correct... this new guy will be singer #5?
And since I don't know every detail about who's on first... it appears the OG drummer has bailed too?
Also, the OG bassist (Peter London) who has missed years of gigs, with some health (back) issue, appears to have come back (no pun intended).
From their Facebook page...
------------------------------------------------
The time has come to enter the next chapter in the CRASHDÏET book of madness.
After much soul-searching, Gabriel has decided to leave the band to focus on other things in life.
We are shaken by his decision, but we respectfully wish him all the best in his future endeavors and thank him for the years he worked with us and his contribution to the last two studio albums.
Taking over the vocal duties will be none other than John Elliot. A good friend and excellent singer from the band Confess! He has the drive and the hunger to lead us into a promising future.
We also welcome Martin's brother, Michael, as the band's permanent drummer! He has stepped in for Eric on countless shows since 2011 and is a natural fit for us. Now that Peter is back and full of energy, we can proudly announce the lineup of CRASHDÏET in 2024:
John Elliot
Martin Sweet
Peter London
Michael Sweet
See you on the long and winding road!

After six remarkable years with CRASHDÏET I find myself at the end of this path, times change and it's time for me to change direction towards new challenges. I wanna thank all of you for the love, support, and memories that will forever be kept in the chamber of my pounding heart. I Love u all
Goodbyes are never easy, especially this one. A big thanks to my brothers in Crashdiet for this crazy and wonderful ride!
We’ve shared a lot of great moments and some not as great as well (Hehe) and I will always be grateful that you gave me this opportunity
I can assure you that the band will continue to deliver kick-ass shows and release great tunes! Especially with John Elliot behind the mic! Give him a well-deserved welcome and give the guys the support they need through these times of change! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
// Gabriel

Good to see that it's an amicable split
We don't need a second Crashdiet

Some of our buddies who are way into the Swedish band scene say they've known for sometime about this but only announced it now for some reason.
I dont know any of em or what they look like but do like the music. They could just have 4 randoms up there & wouldnt know any difference

No clue who this band is, I've never heard a single song, and don't plan on looking them up either.
