Brooklyn, NY-based atmospheric doomsters A STORM OF LIGHT have issued the following update:

"In just over two years since the band's inception, A Storm Of Light has had the honor and privilege of playing with many great drummers: Vinny Signorelli, Jason Roeder, Pete Angevine, Andy Rice, and our current man, Geoff Summers. While this band is built around revolving members both in touring and recording, we have decided that a central three-peice will make us sonically/rhythmically stronger. That said, we have decided to look for a permanent drummer, one that will make Storm their primary focus, and be part of the band for the long haul.

Geoff will be playing with us through the Feb/March US tour dates, before returning to his full time duties with his band, BATILLUS. We'd like to fill the spot, if possible, by mid February, and then begin working together in late March. We leave for a European tour May 5, and will most likely record the third full-length in late summer/early fall.

Ideally we want someone in Brooklyn/NYC, or damn close. While we are willing to consider people outside of the area (New Jersey/Philadelphia/Upstate NY/ etc), we are constantly writing, recording, practicing, touring, so you will have to been in Brooklyn very regularly.

We are preferably looking for people with previous recording/touring experience, and who can tour regularly both nationally and internationally. (nice, fun, dedicated, motivated, relaxed, on time, honest, etc, etc, etc.)

Contact ASAP. Please include links to your drumming/musical projects, and email us at: storm@astormoflight.com."
