ELDRITCH Parts Ways With Drummer, Announces Replacement
August 8, 2007Italian progressive-aggressive metal band ELDRITCH has issued the following update:
"Due to personal problems and to other different point of views, ELDRITCH decided to replace the drummer Dave Simeone with the young and talented Raffahell Dridge. This is another important loss in the band's history, but sometimes it's necessary to take different roads. Dave is still a brother and the band will never forget what he's done for ELDRITCH in these last seven years and four albums! We all wish him all the best for his future career."
Upcoming ELDRITCH shows:
Oct. 10 - Napoli, Italy - Glory Metal Fest
Nov. 09 - Hamburg, Germany - Headbanger's Ballroom
Nov. 10 - Copenhagen, Denmark - ProgPower Scandinavia
