News : Original Knightmare member rejoins

By on June 1, 2008

Original guitarist Luke Besley has rejoined power/thrash metal band Knightmare. Besley’s press release is below.

“I have decided to jump on board Knightmare again. There a number of reasons, but after giving it a long decision, I came to the conclusion that I had made the wrong decision earlier to split up from knightmare.

We had a few good reviews and a good response from those in other countries who we mailed out the EP to, and I thought that Knightmare still had a long way to go, and definitely wasn’t dead. I also found it quite difficult to continue with the other ex-knightmare guys, as they didn’t seem eager to make any plans with a future band that I was trying to make happen. They all joined another band that I didn’t even know about, which I actually had to find out about from somebody else! After finally being able to track them down and call them to determine what the situation actually was, their intention was pretty obvious, so I decided it was time for us to part ways. I wish them good luck with their new band, and whatever they plan to do with it.

Both Mick and myself are enthusiastic about reforming and we don’t see this as a ‘set back’ any less than we do an oppourtunity for us to achieve what we initially set out to do. We have plans to record and release a few new songs before we put together a new live band.

So, for those who were following us before this little period, the next step is about to begin, and Knightmare will definitely be coming back!”
