New guitarist 

Dennis leaves Cirrha Niva, so our quest for a new guitarist starts here:-)
"Hi there, vrienden en fans van Cirrha Niva. Onlangs heb ik besloten om de band te verlaten. Na een jaar hard werken, ligt mijn muzikale weg uiteindelijk in een andere richting dan beoogd. Desalniettemin ben ik vele mooie ervaringen rijker en wens Cirrha Niva het beste met hun verdere muzikale avontuur. Rob, Michel, Le Grand en Robert down the road we will meet again. Cheers Dennis van Bussel"
       


Thanks
It was a real pleasure to gig Progfrog 2017; cozy venue, fine crew, cool co-headliner, nice audience and a good cook:-)
See ya all next time!

Vocalist Legrand about the lyrics:
"If you're Afraid to Bleed for whatever thoughts you might have that's not according to or differs from whatever you were made to believe.
Act like you're tough to, and be as the ones before you. Don't question or doubt, just do as your told. Or they will cut you down."

Interview on Lords Of Metal
Guitarist Carlo Heefer is being interviewed by metalzine Lords Of Metal and this interview has now been published. So check it out!

’Out Of The Freak Show’ is a diverse, strong and steady album. The band of course spent quite some time with the material before actually recording it. Looking and hearing back; are you satisfied with the end result? 
First of all: Thanks for the compliment! We’re very happy with the outcome. You know, when you record an album for a big part yourself there will always be things you hear and ask yourself ‘shouldn’t we have done this’ or ‘wouldn’t this have been’. But in the end what matters is you make a decision and act so the album gets done. READ MORE>>>
