SYMPHORCE Part Ways With Drummer

October 27, 2005

German power metallers SYMPHORCE, featuring BRAINSTORM frontman Andy B. Franck, have issued the following update:

"Right after an amazing tour, Sascha [Sauer, drums] suddenly decided to leave after more than four years in the band. His decision was based on personal reasons. But since we have to take things as they come, we're proud to announce two guest drummers for the shows that are already booked and confirmed!

"We will be helped out by Andy Flache (who is well known as one of our chief roadies from hell) and Steffen Theurer (ex-CHINCHILLA, WOODPECKERS). We hope to get everything fixed in time and hope Sascha will find his way.

"We're looking forward to even more amazing shows and are ready to rock da house!"

SYMPHORCE's latest album, "GodSpeed", was released in September via Metal Blade Records. The follow-up to 2004's "Twice Second" was recorded at House of Music studios in Winterach, Germany and features 10 tracks. A limited-edition version of the album includes a bonus DVD of approximately 45 minutes of "live and backstage" footage and the video clip for "Cause of Laughter". The cover artwork was designed by Travis Smith (ICED EARTH, NEVERMORE).
