February 13, 2009

Legendary British/American heavy metal trio RAVEN has been forced to cancel its appearance at the Rocktower festival, set to take place April 11 in Lübeck, Germany, because the group's guitarist, Mark Gallagher, is due to undergo knee surgery. Replacing them on the bill is DEATHRIDERS, the California-based band featuring original ANTHRAX vocalist Neil Turbin, Sandy K. Vasquez (bass; BLOODLUST),Dave Watson (guitar; ex-HIRAX),Mike Guerrero (guitar; ex-HELLION) and Dave Chedrick (drums; ANGER AS ART, ex-HIRAX).

DEATHRIDERS will perform a special set at Rocktower to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the groundbreaking ANTHRAX debut album "Fistful Of Metal". DEATHRIDERS will also perform at the Rocktower warm-up show at the Sounds Club in Lübeck on April 10.
