Italian progressive metal band Pathosray has parted ways with guitarist Alessio Velliscig due to "artistic differences" and has replaced him with Antonio Petris.

Commented the group: "Antonio has been working with Pathosray's basisst, Fabio D'Amore, for a few years now on several projects.

"The band found he brought a level of energy and artistic contribution that will be useful to the creation of the upcoming album."



Added Antonio, "I am given this great opportunity to join a band like Pathosray and I am really happy about the way we started working together! I am definitely thankful to the guys for giving me this chance. Playing with these musicians puts me in a higher gear and I am sure that they will certainly give me a lot of satisfaction in the future!"

Antonio made his live debut with Pathosray on July 31.

Pathosray's second album, Sunless Skies, was released last year via Frontiers Records. The CD was recorded at Artesonika Studios in Italy and mixed and mastered in Sweden by Johan Ornborg and Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios (Symphony X, HammerFall, Opeth, Katatonia).

Pathosray was formed in 2000 by drummer Ivan Moni Bidin and vocalist Marco Sandron, later joined by bass player Fabio D'Amore, keyboardist Gianpaolo Rinaldi, and guitarist Alessio Velliscig. The band released its self-titled debut album through Sensory Records in late 2007.

Marco Sandron - Vocals
Fabio D'Amore - Bass, Backing Vocals
