Blind Guardian Announces New Drummer
|
The German power metal band Blind Guardian have now announced a replacement for Thomen Stauch, who left the band in April after 20 years. The new drummer will be the German Frederik Ehmke. A statement by Blind Guardian:
"A few weeks ago an unknown guy who introduced himself as Frederik Ehmke applied for the job as a drummer in a fairly firm manner. His vital, expressive and skillful performances of some B.G. classics ('Journey Through The Dark', 'Time Stands Still' and 'And Then There Was Silence') blew us away completely . Pretending not to be convinced we invited him to do a shoot out recording session under real production terms to check out if the creative chemistry would also work out fine. After finishing these recordings it was obvious to us: Frederik is going to be our new drummer!"
In addition it has been revealed that the band will start working on a new album in late August which is planned to be released in April 2006 on Nuclear Blast Records. There is no album title set yet, but it's said that it will contain ten songs. According to Blind Guardian some working titles are:
Carry The Blessed Home The Edge In Search For The Lionheart Market Square Another Stranger Me Otherland
The release of the album will be followed by a world tour, probably in June and August.
