Paul Nazarkardeh, who is proving a roaring success as the new guitarist with De Profundis, sums it up 'For the kind of music I play, I require strings that not only hold tone, but durability. After years of brand switching, I have been using Rotos for the De Profundis 'Uniting Darkness' tour and the writing process for our next album. No matter how much I punish them, Rotosound strings never lose their fantastic tone'.
