Drummer Behemoth cuti manggung menanti lahirnya anak kedua
Band blackened death metal asal Polandia, Behemoth terpaksa memakai jasa drummer Jon Rice (ex-Job for a Cowboy) menggantikan posisi Inferno untuk tur musim panas di Amerika Serikat dan Canada bersama Slayer dan Lamb of God.
Zbigniew Robert Promiński alias Inferno memutuskan untuk absen di tur musim panas ini karena sedang menantikan kehadiran anak keduanya, yang diperkirakan lahir bulan Juli ini.
Di Facebooknya 8 Juli lalu, Behemoth menulis:
Behemoth Legions!
We must announce that our drummer, Inferno will not be taking part in the upcoming Slayer tour with Lamb of God:
“I am going to be a father for the second time in my life and it’s going to happen in July of 2017. I therefore must apologize to all our fans for not being able to participate in the 2017 Summer, North American tour. I believe that Jon Rice, an amazing drummer, a truly experienced musician, and a good friend of ours, will flawlessly take over my drum throne for this short period and will set the stage on fire!” – Inferno
As much of a disappointment it is not to have our brother with us, we completely support Inferno in this amazing chapter of his life. Rest assured, we’re still bringing one HELL of a show with us and look forward to seeing our North American, Legions in full force!
Behemoth akan menjalani 29 kali manggung di Amerika Serikat dan Kanada, beberapa di antaranya bersama Slayer dan Lamb of God. Band ini masih akan menampilkan set list dari album terakhir mereka yang sangat sukses The Satanist yang dirilis tahun 2014 melalui Nuclear Blast Records. The Satanist merupakan album Behemoth yang paling dipuji, mendapatkan penghargaan Album of the Year di Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards.
