The last time we spoke about Blotted Science the band was rehearsing for a possible tour. That was two years ago and clearly that never came to fruition. Well, Blotted mastermind Ron Jarzombek checked in with an update recently and it contained a fair amount of Blotted Science news. For one, there is a new drummer in the band, Hannes Grossmann, of Necrophagist/Obscura fame. Holy fuck! Also, the group are working on tracks for a new EP. This is incredibly exciting for tech nerds everywhere. Here is the full excerpt on his Blotted Science talk:

"New drummer?! What?!!
"Yes, folks, please welcome Hannes to BLOTTED SCIENCE! Those of you in the death metal world should be very familiar with his work with NECROPHAGIST and OBSCURA. Of course, Alex and I wish Charlie the very best with his current bands/projects/sessions, and many thanks for doing an absolute brilliant job on 'Machinations'.
