"After hundreds of beers, thousands of driven miles for rehearsals and gigs, endless moments of pure fun and great friendship within the band, plus months, days and never-ending hours of thinking about my future, I [made] the decision to leave the FREEDOM CALL camp.

"Believe it: for me it was quite a tough thing to come up to Chris, Daniel, Ilker and Nils to tell them that I don't feel like continuing shredding the guitar in FREEDOM CALL anymore. On one hand, it was a hard decision 'cause this line-up was pure rock 'n' roll, in my opinion, but on the other hand, it was an easy decision, 'cause I know that I couldn't go on like this for me and my future.

"So, why do I leave the band? As a lot of you know, I'm living in Switzerland and it takes me an unbelievable amount of time to play in FREEDOM CALL. It just got too much for me, as I think I wanna give at least 100% and not only 90% to play in this band. Of course, I still believe that without sweat, tears and engagement you won't get to any point in this business but I just figured out that I don't want to be that much involved in music business anymore. I just wanna concentrate on one professional band and that's by far enough if you're working eight-to-five besides the music thing. Living in another country, playing in two bands, that is just too much to take for me.

"Most important thing was to me, that FREEDOM CALL respects and understands my decision. And I'm glad that they totally do. We still have a great partnership and friendship, we still got a lot of fun together. And that's what I really appreciate!!!

"So, that's all I can say about it at the moment. I want you, the fans, to fucking party on with FREEDOM CALL, and I wish all the best to the guys in finding a new guitar player that will have as much fun in the band as I had with them.

"You guys rock, and thank you so much for everything! You made my last 4 years a pure adventure ride

"Cheers and see you around!"

Bassist Ilker Ersin has left German power metallers FREEDOM CALL. In an interview with RockSomething.com conducted Monday night (September 5), Ersin said, "At the moment, things are bad, I've just quit the band — no joke. I am very sorry for the FREEDOM CALL fans that I have quit the band, but there is a new thing coming! Watch out for POWERWORLD! http://www.powerworld.org is under construction this week."

FREEDOM CALL have yet to announce a replacement for guitarist Cédric "Cede" Dupont, who left the group in July. Asked to comment on the band's future, Ersin said, "[FREEDOM CALL] need to find a guitar payer and a bassist. We had ideas, but in my case I don't want to be involved!"
