NEWS: APRIL 2004

Long time ACHERON guitarist Michael Estes has be let go from the band. The departure was due to a location problem. Estes, an Orlando, Florida, resident, lived 1000 miles away from the band’s headquarters in Columbus, Ohio. ACHERON felt the distance was keeping the band back from going forward. The band wishes Michael the best of luck with his present and future endeavors.

A new guitarist, by the name of Stacey Connolly, has been welcomed into the ACHERON fold. Connolly, who also plays in the band LIFE IS LOST, has been working with ACHERON for the last several months. On April 6th, 2004, he was officially made a member of the band.

The band is also looking to add a second guitarist to the line-up. Those who are interested and share the same ACHERON style of lead playing can contact Vincent Crowley at Vincent@Acheron666.com.

On Friday July 9th, 2004, ACHERON will be headlining Berlin Germany’s UNDER THE BLACK SUN festival. More information about the show can be found at the TRIPLE SIX CONCERTS at http://home.snafu.de/tsatthoggua/tsc/index.htm.
