Negura Bunget founding member Hupogrammos and Sol Faur who has been the band's guitarist since 1996 have just left the band.
Negru, drummer and last remaining founding member of Negura Bunget, has this to say in an official statement: “This has to be one of the most difficult messages to be written. We are sorry to announce that Hupogrammos and Sol Faur have ended their journey alongside Negura Bunget. Our paths are now apart. We wish them all the best with
their new endeavours (their new project will be announced at a later time).
Meanwhile, a new Negura Bunget line-up is assembled, which will continue the path started almost 15 years ago. Rest assure, we are keen to prove there is more to be said by this band, and we will work to fulfil our spiritual endeavour relentlessly. All scheduled plans of Negura Bunget (concerts, festivals, contracts with Aural Music/Code666 Records and Prophecy Productions/Lupus Lounge) will be completed in the new formula.”
