Another "Metal Minute"

Members of American rock band Bury Your Dead are recovering in hospital in Canada, after crashing their tour bus in the capital Ottawa on Wednesday.

According to reports, the vehicle rolled a number of times before ending up in a ditch. Guitarist Brendan 'Slim' McDonald has undergone surgery on lacerations on his leg, singer Myke Terry broke a hand, and bassist Aaron Patrick broke his arm.

Patrick, who was driving the bus, has reportedly been charged by local police for "failing to drive in a marked lane".

Well the search for a new bassit to fill in Michael Niklasson's spot permanently is over, Dark Tranquility anounced the following on their website:

"The response to our bassist search has been overwhelming, and we want to send our sincere thanks to everyone that got in touch. Applications poured in from pretty much every continent, and some of the interested musicians are members in bands that we have been huge fans of for many years, which was extremely flattering.

However, we can now announce that the search is over, and that we've recruited Daniel Antonsson (Dimension Zero, ex-Soilwork) to handle the bass duties for the upcoming tour. We welcome Daniel to the fold and look forward to hitting the road with him."
