MASTERY Announces New Bassist And Drummer

June 12, 2008

Toronto "instrumetal" thrash band MASTERY has announced the addition of bassist Morgan Rider (BOLERO) and drummer Kerry Saxena (NOCTURNITY) to the group's ranks. The band is currently writing the follow-up to "Lethal Legacy" for a tentative early 2009 release.

"Moran played a show with us when he was in a band called ATOMICY and once he heard that we're looking for a bass player he sent me an email and he auditioned and that was that," says MASTERY guitarist Markus Armellini. "Kerry Saxena's band just broke up and once he found out that we're looking for a drummer, he immediately got in touch with me. After a few jams he got the job."

MASTERY's debut album, "Lethal Legacy", was released through Corporate Punishment Records. The CD drew critical acclaim from Metal Maniacs who proclaimed, "While 'Lethal Legacy' pays homage to the classic thrash of the late '80s/early '90s with nods to TESTAMENT, FORBIDDEN, VIO-LENCE and METALLICA, it doesn't sound as if the band are pinning for the glory days." Decibel magazine has also been singing the praises of MASTERY brand of "instrumental", as they gave the band a whopping 9/10 and called them, "Mastery of Puppets."
