I don't know how many of y'all are familiar with the band but they split from their record label and marketing to use a kickstarter type system to crowd fund the record. Every donation over $10 gets you a download or a physical copy. They raised over $250,000 in a weekend with thousands more coming in as the days went on.

Well, their drummer parted ways and Chris Adler from lamb of god is stepping in to help them with the album. The one spot that wasn't jaw dropping was the drumming so this should be a massive step up on their new record.

I wouldn't be surprised to see portnoy or minneman stepping in on the tour. Can't wait to hear updates.

I'm excited to hear the new stuff with Chris Adler. I wasn't a big fan of the last album. Kezia is still in my regular rotation.

So the story behind this drummer change is that moe wanted to go back to school and just didnt want the touring to interfere. PTH and LoG have the same managers and both drummers use the same contacts for their endorsements so they had been friends for a while. chris adler was contacted and accepted the job over 2 months ago. he spent 8 weeks learning and tracking the songs with the band. the releases now about drummer changes are all past tense. drums are recorded and moe is long gone. they delayed all information leaking to make the recording easier without all the fans of wither band flooding them.

if you trace this timeline back, they probably knew about the drummer change and adler stepping in around the time of the indiegogo fundraiser, and im surprised they didnt use that to their advantage. i think LoG fans would have contributed heavily if for nothing else than to see what adler can do in a different atmosphere.
