Patrick Kistler Says He Was Fired By Eluveitie

(TeamRock Radio) Former Eluveitie piper Patrick Kistler says he was fired from the band after a democratic vote - but that he didn't want to go. He's denied drugs were involved in the breakdown of relations that led to his departure. And he's suggested that some band members have forgotten the values that created their six-album legacy.

The Swiss folk metal outfit last week announced the lineup change midway through a European tour in support of latest record Origins. Matteo Sisti of Krampus has taken his place on a temporary basis.

Kistler says in a statement: "Personal issues increased within the past 12 months in my life, as well as in the Eluveitie hood. I have been going through some personal difficulties that also affected the relationship to some band members, and my ability to fulfill expectations. No addiction problem and they are solved in the meantime.

"All this got more exaggerated with the album production and intensive touring. In the end the majority of the band decided to expel me from the hood by a democratic vote - we're still very Swiss." Read more here.
