Markbass signs Behemoth’s Orion as endorsing artist

Behemoth bassist Tomasz “Orion” Wróblewski has signed on as an Markbass endorsing artist.

Orion is using two Markbass SD 800 heads and Standard 106HF, Standard 104HF and Standard 151HF cabinets for the band’s current U.S. tour, and used Markbass gear during the recording of the band’s new album Evangelion, releasing August 11th.

“Markbass gear simply stands out,” says Orion. “What I do with this gear is extreme metal music – and it perfectly fits the expectations of a bassist who is in need of house-crushing sound. And don’t be misled by the Markbass gear’s light weight – its sound is heavy as hell!”

The Behemoth U.S. tour wraps up in Dallas, Texas on August 15. Then the band is off to tour Europe from September through November, 2009.
