Metal Blade has issued the following CELLADOR update:

"Cellador with keyboards!?! The band will be joined by PYRAMAZE keyboard player Jonah Weingarten as a special guest during their performance at the ProgPower USA VII festival on October 4th in Atlanta, Georgia.

Commented Cellador guitarist Bill Hudson: "Jonah is one of my best friends, and we've been talking about doing something together for a while. Even though he's not a part of Cellador, we'll be more than happy to have him on stage with us at ProgPower. We're also preparing a couple of other surprises for that show."

Another update from the band reads: "It's been less than four months since we parted ways with our bass player, and we're happy to inform you that we have found a replacement. His name will be announced soon, but I can assure that some of you already know who he is. He's definitely the best choice we could have made, and you'll all be very impressed with him. But unfortunately, I have to "once again" announce that Cellador is no longer working with drummer and very good friend David Dahir. He has always been more into death metal and more brutal styles of music, and even more recently has began to further venture into the realm of extreme music.

In the last few months Dave has become more interested in these styles and because of this everyone involved thought it would be good if we tried different things. Maybe we'll work together again in the future. Who knows? Dave is very talented and young, and we'll be happy to help him in anyway we possibly can. We're sure you'll hear about his other musical projects very soon.

At this time Cellador is holding auditions in order to find a replacement drummer. We are seeking someone who at the very least is willing to fill in so we can fulfill our upcoming show obligations. The band is seeking an energetic and motivated individual, preferably 25 years of age or younger, with a devout and passionate commitment to music and drumming.

We are looking for someone with amazing footwork and stamina in particular. A background in extreme music in addition to power metal would be a huge plus, as we want to incorporate a lot of these elements into our music. If you are interested or know of anyone who might be, please e-mail us at contact@cellador.com or message us on our MySpace page."
