He replaces <strong>Ethan Trembath<\/strong>, who had originally sat out the band\u2019s touring last year in order to finish high school. <strong>Trembath<\/strong> commented:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\u201cThis is a decision that I\u2019ve been considering for quite a long time. I have really struggled with touring and being away from home so much, and I know that it\u2019s only going to get more intense as the band grows, so I\u2019ve decided to focus my energies on getting work in a recording studio or the production side of things, as that\u2019s what I\u2019ve enjoyed most during my time with <strong>Alien Weaponry<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">It\u2019s been an awesome experience, and I know we\u2019ll always remain good friends. And I really want to thank our fans all over the world for their amazing support, which has been truly humbling.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The band comments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Lewis de Jong<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\u201c<strong>Ethan<\/strong> is one of the OG crew and we are really going to miss his massive presence. But we get it, we have to respect his wish to spend more time with family and have a home life. The thing is, he lives just up the road so it\u2019s not really goodbye. We fully expect to see a lot of <strong>Ethan<\/strong> on our visits back home to Waipu, New Zealand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Henry de Jong<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\u201c<strong>Turanga<\/strong> was in my class in school and we had some mean times together playing music. We ran auditions with 10 different bass players and in the end it came back to our home boy from Bream Bay College, We are stoked to have him with us as we gear up for the next phase in our journey. <strong>Ethan<\/strong> has been a beast helping with the audition process and fully getting into choosing his replacement. We love him like a brother and he will always be part of the AW family.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprp.com\/2020\/08\/18\/news\/alien-weaponry-announce-new-bassist\/\">The PRP<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ALIEN WEAPONRY officially welcomes bassist Turanga Porowini Morgan-Edmonds to their lineup as their new permanent&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-82575","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82575","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=82575"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82575\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":82578,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82575\/revisions\/82578"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=82575"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=82575"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=82575"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
