THE SKULL, the new band formed by two original members of Chicago doom legends TROUBLE — vocalist Eric Wagner and drummer Jeff “Oly” Olson — alongside the band’s longtime bassist, Ron Holzner, has recruited guitarists Lothar Keller and Michael Carpenter of the Chicago, Illinois-based progressive power metal band SACRED DAWN. Glen Drover (MEGADETH, TESTAMENT, KING DIAMOND) will not join the band as the guest touring guitarist due to scheduling conflicts.
Commented Wagner, Olson, and Holzner in a statement:
“We welcome the twin guitar attack of Lothar Keller and Michael Carpenter from SACRED DAWN.
Both guitarist have been playing together for many years and that’s a big plus. We are excited to begin rehearsing for our upcoming shows!”
