DRAGONFORCE have parted ways with drummer Dave Mackintosh and have replaced him with former BRAINDAMAGE and KILL RITUAL member Gee Anzalone.
A native of Turin, Italy, Gee is a drum teacher who graduated from the NAMM Academy of Milan and carries on the well established multi-national mix of musicians that make up DRAGONFORCE.
Gee will make his live debut with DRAGONFORCE on the forthcoming “Maximum Overload” U.K. tour, which commences on September 17 in Edinburgh.
Dave is moving on to pastures new to focus on his first musical love, which is progressive rock. He says in a statement: “After much thought, I have parted ways with the boys in DRAGONFORCE to pursue my first love of progressive rock. I wish the lads all the luck in the world and look forward to the release of ‘Maximum Overload’ as I truly believe this is the most fantastic DRAGONFORCE album that I and the boys have recorded to date!
“Many thanks to all the fans who have supported me in this last decade of massive tours, countless shows and all the albums. I couldn’t have done it without you.
“I will continue to tour and play with some of the greatest names in prog rock, and hope to see some familiar faces on the road!
