ANCIENT Enlist Temporary Drummer For UTBS Fest
May 26, 2016, 7 years ago
Norwegian extreme metal titans Ancient will blast the mainstage of UTBS (Under The Black Sun) Festival in Börnicke, Germany, on July 2nd. Due to touring commitments with Brujeria, the band's drummer, Nick Barker, is unable to play the festival. Ancient has announced that he will be replaced by drummer Jonathan Garofoli (pictured below), known from his performances with Melechesh, Naer Mataron and many others.
Ancient frontman Zel comments: "We are very lucky to have found Jonathan to play with us, not many can dare to try filling in the shoes of Nick Barker, but this guy kicks some serious ass!"
Jonathan comments: "Sometimes life is sweetly tricky, one day you're listening to an album of a band you like and after years you're playing with that band! Should sound kinda crazy but it's not, actually is what happened to me right now since I got the proposal from Ancient to get the role to step behind the kit to play at Under The Black Sun Festival 2016! To me it's a true honor to have been recruited by such a respectful and historical ensemble like Ancient, I'm pretty sure our collaboration will create and establish some real musical magic!"
