Other drummers performing were: Gerry Brown, Dirk Erchinger, Gabor Dornyei, Dirk Brand, Pitti Hecht, Werner Schimtt, Nicky Gebhard and Sibi Siebert. All great drummers. A very inspirational weekend for sure!"DuskMachine, also featuring bassist Russ Bergquist (Annihilator), guitarist Nikolai Wurk, and vocalist Joe Comeau (Annihilator, Overkill, Liege Lord) have issued the following update:
"Not many people realise it but DuskMachine has recently passed the 10 year mark of being in existence. Kinda sneaked up on us and we were pleasantly surprised. Here's to another 10 years and beyond.
