Sodom and drummer part ways

German metal band Sodom has announced the departure of drummer Bobby Schottkowski: "After personal and private problems between Tom [Such, Sodom frontman] and Bobby, it was decided by mutual agreement the end of the cooperation between Sodom and drummer Bobby Schottkowski. Tom and Bernemann will announce as soon as possible a replacement drummer. The shows from January will be performed as planned and the upcoming tour in February will take place in any case. By then we will have incorporated a new drummer. We thank you for your understanding and your loyal support."
