ANGEL-LESS: Announced in an official statement recently, San Fransisco's Death Angel will be parting ways with founding drummer, Andrew Galeon. In the statement the band makes clear that, "While we are sad to see him go, we wish him nothing but success. Not only has he been an integral part of DEATH ANGEL from day one, but he's also family and a friend and we will miss him. All the best to you, brother." Filling in for upcomng tour dates will be Scarecrow's Will Carroll.
SPEEDY SIGNING: Heading over to the Boston, Massachusetts' thrash / grind ensemble, Ramming Speed have just inked a deal with Candlelight Records. They're putting the finishing touches on a seven inch single, so expect to see the road veterans armed and prepped for some touring on the road very shortly.
