San Diego power metal band BENEDICTUM have parted ways with drummer Blackie Sanchez due to musical differences. "We wish Blackie the best of luck in his future endeavors - we had some great times together but over the last few months it became apparent that we were moving in different directions", said the band in an official statement. "We are happy to announce that we have found an awesome new drummer named Paul Courtois who we've been jamming with and things have never been better. We're gelling beautifully on a musical level and we're having more fun than ever; we're currently in the early pre-production stages for our second album and already working up a batch of new tunes with Paul. We'll be heading up to L.A. shortly to meet up with our producer, Jeff Pilson, and get the ball rolling with a view toward tracking in February."
On the live front, BENEDICTUM have been forced to drop out of the re-scheduled Monterrey Metal Fest in Mexico due to scheduling conflicts but are heading back over to Europe for a December tour with German metal goddess DORO. "I'm a huge fan and I can't wait it meet her so this tour is like a dream come true for me" states vocalist Veronica Freeman. "We're looking forward to getting back to Italy, Holland, and Belgium, and we're totally stoked to finally be able to play for the fans in Germany, which we didn't get a chance to last summer. We'll see you all very soon!"
