GIGAN - New Full-Time Drummer Enters Fold Florida grinders GIGAN featuring guitarists
Eric Herseman (ex-
HATE ETERNAL/DIABOLIC) and
Randy Piro (ex-
Hate Eternal) have issued the following update:
"Gigan is pleased as punch to announce that we have a new drummer! Danny Ryan is his name and we couldn't be happier! Grover (Norton) did a great job helping us out and we wish him the best. We are all still friends, but Grover was just unable to commit the necessary time it takes to be our drummer. Danny's first performance with us was at the Empty Bottle in Chicago, and as those of you fortunate enough to have witnessed the gig already know - he was killer! Danny also completed his tracks for the new record with minimal editing and in a mere three days. So, welcome to the Gigan universe Danny! The record will be finished by the end of next week, then it is on to the mastering process. We are excited! We will be playing out some more before touring starts next year."
The band is currently recording its as-yet-untitled debut album with producer
Sanford Parker (
MINSK, RWAKE, PELICAN) at Volume Studios in Chicago.
