12-03-2008  -  Dismember competition

Thanks for the big interest and all the answers to the Dismember competition!
The band and we were impressed by some very detailed answers. Our respect goes to Mathew from (USA), Natalia from (GR) and Bryn from (UK) who named all the nine bassist that ever played in Dismember. All the other winners will be contacted during the next days.

We considered all the answers that included the three bass players from the albums (Cabeza, D'Angelo, Cristiansson), the ultimate answer tho was as following:

• Erik Gustafsson (early days, before the demos)
• Robert Sennebäck (live before the demos)
• Nicke Andersson (1st demo)
• Richard Cabeza (aka Richard Diamon; 1991-1998, 2000-2004)
• Sharlee D'Angelo (1998-2000)
• Johan Bergebäck (live 2004-2005)
• David Blomqvist (demos, Like an ever flowing Stream, The God that never was)
• Martin Persson (The God that never was)
• Tobias Christiansson (2006-)

Thanks to everyone who participated in the raffle! If you didn't win, stay on the line. More goodies to come soon.
