EVANESCENCE/BLACK LABEL SOCIETY Drummer WILL HUNT At AFFLICTION Headquarters

March 9, 2010

Drummer Will Hunt of EVANESCENCE and BLACK LABEL SOCIETY recently stopped by the Affliction headquarters to pick up his custom-wrapped drums from ddrum.

Video footage of Will breaking in the drums, plus a short interview and clips from the photo shoot of Will in his new Affliction threads can be viewed below.

Hunt recently joined BLACK LABEL SOCIETY as the replacement for the band's longtime drummer, Craig Nunenmacher.

In a recent interview with Classic Rock magazine, BLACK LABEL SOCIETY mainman Zakk Wylde stated about Nunenmacher's departure and Hunt's addition, "Craig left on good terms. He wants to try some other music ideas, but I've told him that he's welcome back any time. That's the thing with this band. People come in, drink as much as they can, throw up, make some cash and then move on — but everyone's told they can return when they want.

"I know a load of drummers, but it was Jerry Cantrell [ALICE IN CHAINS] who recommended Will. The plan is for him to do the album and then tour with us. He's already said that he has commitments coming up with EVANESCENCE — but I've told him that's no problem, as long as he finds us someone else!"

Nunenmacher left BLACK LABEL SOCIETY after spending nearly 10 years with the band.

BLACK LABEL SOCIETY's as-yet-untitled studio album is due for release this summer via Roadrunner Records in Europe and E1 Music in North America.
