FIREWIND announces new drummer

Greek melodic metal act FIREWIND have posted a statement regarding a recent line-up change in the light of the band’s upcoming live shows in Mexico:

“FIREWIND has decided to part ways with drummer Mark Cross due to personal differences. We thank Mark for his work and contribution to FIREWIND and wish him good luck in the future.
Behind the kit, for the upcoming Mexico shows will be Michael Ehre (Uli Jon Roth, Kee Marcello, etc.). Michael’s a beast, a truly fantastic player with years of experience next to top musicians and bands and we’re very happy to have him on board!“
You can check Michael out here: www.myspace.com/michaelehre”
