The Faceless just completed a tour of Mexico, and the fine sleuths over at MetalSucks noticed that The HAARP Machine's Alex Rudinger was drumming in place of longtime member Lyle Cooper.
It is now confirmed that Lyle is out, and Alex might be in!
Lyle took to facebook last night to clear up the news of his departure.
Here's footage from one of the band's performances in Mexico:

…along with a photo of the band with Alex:
While it's a bummer to hear about Cooper, the longest running member of the band after Michael Keene, it appears Alex Rudinger is doing a great job and fitting in nicely. It's still a bit unclear whether Alex is an official member, or what that would mean for The HAARP Machine. One thing we do know for sure is Lyle Cooper is a beast on drums, and will have no trouble finding future endeavors.
