Volbeat parts ways with guitarist Thomas Bredahl

Volbeat have announced that they have parted ways with guitarist Thomas Bredahl and will now take the rest of the year off, including most of early January for a break before they get back on the road as either a three piece or with a replacement guitarist.

Volbeat have suffered over the years with having a steady lead guitarist as Thomas was the bands third who joined them in 2006 after the departure of Franz Gottschalk. The rest of the band remains unchanged from their formation in 2001.
