After Protest The Hero's ridiculously successful crowd-funding campaign that brought in an ungodly amount of money, original drummer Moe Carlson has dropped out of the band to go back to school. Not wanting to let the fans down, the band announced a ridiculous studio fill-in with Lamb of God drummer Chris Adler!
In an update email from their crowd-funding campaign, Protest the Hero said:
With all this incredible progress, however, we have some sad news. Our brother and friend Moe has decided to leave the band to go back to school in pursuit of some of his other passions. When our gruelling studio schedule just wouldn't work with his gruelling school schedule, we realized we would need to find a session player for the new album. With Moe's guidance and approval, we found us a nice match in Chris Adler! Having known Chris for a few years, and with he and Moe being drum-buddies, it seemed like a perfect fit. We are happy to say that Chris has already come and gone from canada and has left us with some beautiful drum tracks.
God I wish they would upload some drum tracks of Chris shredding that shit up! Before all you prog nerds get all up in arms about a "metal" drummer being in a "progressive" band, keep in mind that Adler got invited to play in Blotted Science with Ron Jarzombek, who's certifiably insane when it comes to thinking of the most fucked uup music any human can play. Adler is a monster and I'm way pumped to see the dude play on Protest the Hero's next record!
The band also recently posted photos from the recording studio on their Facebook page.
