ALL SHALL PERISH Announces New Lineup
June 5, 2010Oakland, California extreme metallers ALL SHALL PERISH have issued the following update:
"So we're long due for an update on the currently happenings of ALL SHALL PERISH.
Firstly, we're pleased to announce that Adam Pierce (SEA OF TREACHERY) has come onboard as our new drummer. Yes, this means that one of our original members, Matt Kuykendall, is no longer in the band.
"It's always tough to part ways with a longtime member and friend, but it was absolutely necessary in order to maintain forward progress.
"Also, as many of you may already know, our most recent lead guitarist, Jason Richardson, has left ALL SHALL PERISH and joined BORN OF OSIRIS.
"That being said, we'd like you all to welcome Francesco Artusato, originally hailing from Treviso, Italy, as our new touring guitarist for the foreseeable future. This is the lineup you'll see throughout this year and hopefully well beyond.
"We feel great about these new additions and are confident that the ALL SHALL PERISH fans will make them feel welcome!
"There will be new photos and more updates coming soon.
"Come see us on Summer Slaughter and hang out!"
ALL SHALL PERISH in January cancelled its participation in "The Black Procession" European tour alongside MACHINE HEAD, HATEBREED and BLEEDING THROUGH.
"Awaken The Dreamers", the latest CD from ALL SHALL PERISH, was released on vinyl for the first time on March 16 via Pure Noise. An extremely limited pressing, it is available in two eye-striking patterns; 300 copies are clear with red splatter and 600 are half black/half red, literally split in half between the two colors.
METALLICA's Kirk Hammett named "Awaken The Dreamers" as one of his 25 favorite albums of the past decade in an issue of Rolling Stone magazine.
"Awaken The Dreamers" sold just under 5,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to enter The Billboard 200 chart at position No. 126. The follow-up to "The Price of Existence" was recorded once again at Castle Ultimate Studios in Oakland with producer Zack Ohren.
