August 29, 2013, 11 years ago
York, England-based rockers MORPHEUS RISING have announced the addition of drummer Nigel Durham (ex-SAXON, OLIVER/DAWSON SAXON).
A message from the band states: "It’s been another exciting week here at MRHQ – never a dull moment! Hard on the heels of signing with Melodic Revolution Records, we’re really happy to be able to reveal that we’ve found a full time replacement for Gibbo on drums – Mr. Nigel Durham. Nigel is well known in the NWOBHM field, having been in Saxon and Oliver/Dawson Saxon.
Nigel will take over from Henry Rogers who’s done a spectacular job standing in since Gibbo left, but his existing commitments with DEEEXPUS and TOUCHSTONE and as a session player meant that this could only be a temporary situation. We’re enormously grateful for Henry’s massive commitment and hard work to step in at short notice and save the tour!
We’re all really excited about Nigel joining the band, and again, it’s been almost impossible to keep quiet about this over the last week or so since we finalised things. Looking forward to a fantastic new era for the band with Nigel behind us, and we’re sure you’ll give him a big welcome to MR!"
