BORKNAGAR Part Ways With Drummer

Norway's BORKNAGAR have issued the following statement from Øystein G. Brun:

"Borknagar has decided to part ways with the US drummer David Kinkade. This is first and foremost due to the logistical challenges we have been facing having a US drummer in a Norwegian band the last couple of years. Sometimes reality bites and in order to be a fully operative band, we need a drummer based in Norway. The split is of friendly manner and we would like to say thanks for everything David has contributed with in relations to the band and we would also like to wish him the best of luck for his future endevours.

Borknagar is currently finishing up the recording of the 9th album, which is planned to be released early next year. As we speak Vintersorg and ICS Vortex are working on the vocal arrangements and we are all exited about the new effort we currently are brewing. The album will be mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren in Fascination Street Studio later this year.

More details and information will be issued soon!"

Back in September, SOULFLY announced that they have added David Kinkade to the lineup for their eighth studio album, which they are currently recording with Chris “Zeuss” Harris (CHIMAIRA, ALL THAT REMAINS). The album is due out early next year via Roadrunner.
