LINE-UP CHANGE
Our longtime guitarist Jan has decided to leave Ophis due to personal reasons.
We respect his decision and say thank you for over 7 years of dedication and
contribution.
We had a very great time which we will never forget!
Our new guitarist is Martin, known for his work with Fäulnis and Sakramortem.
Some of you might also know him from our European tour 2008, where he played
session bass! Welcome to the snakepit!! All our future appointments are
unaffected by this.
NEW RELEASE COMING UP
We are going to release a split-EP with our brothers from OFFICIUM TRISTE.
The mini-album will contain exclusive material from both bands and two
brand-new Ophis-tracks which are currently written. No release date yet,
probably around winter!
The record will be released on Spanish label "Memento Mori Records" and will be
strictly limited to 500 copies!
