Longtime Dismember drummer and producer Fred Estby has parted ways with the band. Estby played with the the Swedish death metallers for nearly two decades. At the moment of writing it is unknown who will be Fred Estby\'s follow-up. In a statement the drummer says:\"My decision to put my family in first hand makes it impossible to keep on touring and commit to the band full-time. I want to thank all the fans, friends, bands and all the other cool people I\'ve met through the years and I wish Dismember all the best in the future.\"
Dismember are currently in the process of writing new material. However, according to the band\'s web site the loss of their reliable sticksman will not interrupt any future plans in any way.
Dismember\'s latest album, \"The God That Never Was\", was released in February 2006 via Regain Records. The disc was once again produced by Estby at Sami Studio in Stockholm.
