The Autumn Offering replaces drummer

The Autumn Offering has announced the addition of drummer Allen Royal to their line-up. Here's the official word:

"We are saddened to inform you guys about the loss of our good friend and drummer on our last two albums Nick Gelyon. Nick left on good terms due to some personal issues and the situation is unfortunately out of our control. He was our brother and we will sorely miss him!

Due to the timing of this situation, we enlisted the help of our friend Jon Lee (ex-Death drummer) to track the drums on [our] new album. We want to thank Jon very much for helping us out to get this album done!

We have a new drummer now that we will be touring with, his name is Allen Royal."
