Strapping Young Lad guitarist Jed Simon has issued an update regarding his Tenet project. Simon introduces new faces in the Tenet camp, most notably Adrian Erlandsson (ex-Cradle Of Filth, The Haunted and At The Gates) on drums. Jed Simon is very happy with Erlandsson\'s addition and explains why Gene Hoglan is no longer part of Tenet:\"Adrian brings an enthusiasm to the table that is infectious. I respect his talent greatly, and after hearing what he has done with some of the demo tracks, I\'m beyond excited. Perhaps we\'ll put some of the demo stuff up with him playing soon, although I may just save it for the album, hehe. (...) Of course, you are now wondering why Gene [Hoglan] is not playing. I felt that after 10+ years in The Lad it was time for a fresh start. And to be honest, I really needed to just \'step away\' for a bit, and do something completely on my own. None of this reflects on my and Gene\'s relationship as friends... we will always be thick as thieves. Silly, pranking, metal-loving thieves. He is my brother for life, as are the other SYL cats. That\'s about the best way I can explain it without getting too long-winded. OK? OK!\"
Guitarist Glen Alvelais from Forbidden, Testament, and currently LD-50, has joined Tenet as well. Rob Urbinati from Canadian thrash legends Sacrifice will be appearing as guest vocalist, though Jed Simon will give it a shot on vocals too.
You can listen to three demo tracks from Tenet\'s upcoming \"Sovereign\" debut album on the project\'s official MySpace page. \"Sovereign\" is scheduled for release later in 2007 via Century Media Records.
