Iced Earth: Wechsel hinter der Schießbude

Die amerikanischen Power Metaller ICED EARTH haben sich von ihrem Drummer Brent Smedley getrennt, der die Band „aus familiären Gründen“ verlassen hat. Einen Nachfolger hat die Gruppe in Raphael Saini (Chaoswave) gefunden, der im Sommer mit auf Tour kommen wird.

Das Statement von Smedley im O-Ton:
„I have family members that are elderly and frail and need my help here in Jacksonville. It’s been one of the hardest decisions of my life but I simply cannot commit to the kind of schedule the band deserves and requires so I decided to ask permission to step down from my post.“

Die verbliebenen ICED-EARTH-Mitglieder fügen hinzu:
„Brent has been a valued member of the group for a long time. We thank him for his contributions, friendship and energy and wish him all the best for the future. We want to welcome Raphael with open arms and are expecting for our fans to give him the welcome he deserves.“
