THREAT SIGNAL Announces Two New Members

January 4, 2011

Canadian metallers THREAT SIGNAL have parted ways with drummer Norm Killeen and guitarist Adam Weber and have replaced them with Alex Rudinger from Frederick, Maryland and Chris Feener from Grand Falls-Windsor, Newfoundland, Canada, respectively. THREAT SIGNAL vocalist Jon Howard said, "I caught wind of Alex's drumming through YouTube. He has a large number of drumming videos, including covers and originals. My jaw dropped when I first saw this kid play! Chris also has a ton of self-recorded videos on YouTube. I haven't seen a guy shred like this in a long time!"

Regarding Killeen and Weber's departures, Howard said, "It was a mutual decision between us all to part ways, and there are no hard feeling whatsoever. We are still great friends. We shared some amazing times together and we will never forget that. We love [them] guys and wish [them] all the best."

THREAT SIGNAL is currently writing material for its third album and plans to hit the studio sometime in the spring. Howard said, "All I can say for now is that the new material is heavier than anything we've done before! Get ready kids, THREAT SIGNAL is gonna tear you some new holes this year!"

THREAT SIGNAL recently completed the "Threat Over Europe 2010" headlining tour with RAUNCHY (Denmark),SYBREED (Switzerland),M.A.N (Sweden) and ILLIDIANCE (Russia).

THREAT SIGNAL's sophomore album, "Vigilance", sold around 1,100 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The CD landed at position No. 32 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200. Released in September 2009 via Nuclear Blast Records, the CD was produced by vocalist Jon Howard and mixed by Greg Reely (FEAR FACTORY, FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY).

THREAT SIGNAL members Jon Howard and Pat Kavanagh are also involved with ARKAEA, the band featuring FEAR FACTORY members Raymond Herrera (drums) and Christian Olde Wolbers (guitar).
