SINGLE BULLET THEORY Announce Line-Up Changes
December 23, 2011, 12 years ago
SINGLE BULLET THEORY mainman Matt DiFabio has issued the following update:
"It brings me great pleasure to announce that Single Bullet Theory has added three new members to the group. First and foremost, I would like to say that there is no 'line up change' here and everything is fine in the SBT camp regarding all of us getting along.We have not had a permanent drummer since the end of our tour with KING DIAMOND in 2003. Once Johnny Sasso (route 666 drummer) left the band, we have had a revolving door of temporary drummers live and great guest drummers on our records (Matt Thompson of King Diamond and Acacio Carvalho to name a few). Last year we had announced that Adam Sagan (INTO ETERNITY) would be joining the fold. However, logistically it would be very difficult to arrange for rehearsals and set time aside for weekend shows as Adam lives in Minnesota and we are in Philadelphia.
So with immense excitement I am proud to announce that we have finally landed a permanent drummer thats capable of playing EVERYTHING thats ever been recorded by us. I would like to welcome Mr. Nick Bunczk to the group. Nick is an excellent musician who in addition to crushing behind the kit, he is a drum teacher as well as an accomplished guitarist. Nick's addition to the group will bring a lot of piss and vinegar to the old SBT songs as well as open up a complete Pandora’s box for future writing.
On the six string front, we have added Patrick Brose and Joe Brannigan. Both are from the south Jersey band OF WRATH AND RUIN and both guitarists are awesome. Patrick will be handling 70% of all the leads including re-writing a lot of leads from Route 666. Joe and I (yes we will have three live guitars blazing) will be handling the rhythms as well as bringing the three part harmony into the mix. I have wanted to have three guitars live ever since we toured with “Beyond the Embrace” in 2005. They sounded so fucking heavy live and I thought it was a great idea.
This is NOT to say that John Ruszin III has quit SBT. John will be performing live with us on select shows in the Philadelphia area. John will still be a part of the SBT camp and will be involved in the next record. However, John has a REALLY good job and touring isn’t an option for him. John is a world class guitarist and a great friend, I am happy to say he is part of the group.
So there you have it. Single Bullet Theory are now scheduling 2012 dates regionally. This is without a doubt the strongest line up I have had in this group. Rehearsals are going great and the group has never sounded this heavy. We are looking forward to getting out there and supporting our new record IV."
