Bassist Markus Åkebo has left the Swedish black metal band Zonaria. Commented guitarist Emil Nyström : "We've had some great tours the last couple of years with Markus and we're going to miss him bad. But sometimes people need to move on and Markus needed a change in life. We wish him all the best for his future ventures. The departure will not affect our upcoming plans and tours. We've got a good friend of ours stepping in on our upcoming European tour with Nile, Melechesh, Dew-Scented and Darkrise."
