Rune Rebellion, the rhythm guitar backbone hero of Turbonegro, has amicably left the band to concentrate on the business side of the band (he’s involved in the record label side). He will not be replaced and Pal Pot will be the lead guitarist now.
It does make me wonder what sort of band Turbonegro will be now, and whether there will still be that monster wall of guitars they produce. While not well recognised, Rune’s downpicking style breakneck pace defined death punk and is not easily imitated. Hopefully, the band will maintain the fury as a five piece without him.
All the best Mr Rebellion. The band will go on but we’ll miss you.
