New drummer!
Hi bards,
This time it fortunately is on me to deliver some good news. Very good
news in fact!
The seemingly endless time of waiting for a new drummer and speculations
who could possibly be the new one has finally come to an end. We have
found what we have been searching for…
A few weeks ago an unknown guy who introduced himelf 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!
It was essential for us to find a musician, who on one side would be
able to integrate old Guardian trademarks in his play, but on the other
side would also be confident enough to bring in his own vision of the
Blind Guardian drums in a tasteful and, for the music, suitable way.
Frederik is a calm and handsome fellow, who’s aware of his abilities and
who also knows what he wants. For us he is the lucky draw.
We are convinced you will be as impressed by his drum performance as we
are. Now we are looking forward to starting the next album production.
There is a good amount of work ahead of us but we are absolutely ready
to go. You can expect a very interesting album with strong songs on it.
We will keep you informed.
Later,
Hansi
