January 11, 2011

Veteran death metallers SADISTIC INTENT have reportedly recruited legendary British extreme-metal drummer Nick Barker (CRADLE OF FILTH, BRUJERIA, DIMMU BORGIR, LOCK UP) to replace the recently departed Emilio Marquez. The band has also ended its stint as the backing band for Jeff Becerra's resurrected '80s death metallers POSSESSED. "We wish them all the best and we are moving on," guitarist Rick Cortez said in a statement. "We are excited about Nick Barker joining SADISTIC INTENT and we are now motivated to focus solely on recording and releasing new material for 2011."

SADISTIC INTENT's career spans two decades, earning the band a respected place in the local Los Angeles thrash/death/black metal community as well as in the international underground scene.
