During an interview with The CMS Network back in September, guitarist Doug Aldrich (The Dead Daisies) revealed that he had left Revolution Saints and that he'd been replaced by Whitesnake guitarist Joel Hoekstra. His departure has been made official via a statement issued via the Revolution Saints Facebook page, along with the news that Jack Blades (Night Ranger, Damn Yankees) has also left the band. Drummer Deen Castronovo (Journey, Bad English) is the sole remaining original member of the band.
The statement is available below:
"Ladies and gentlemen, a big update on the future of Revolution Saints from vocalist / drummer Deen Castronovo! Joel Hoekstra and Jeff Pilson have joined and a new album, album #4, is coming in 2023 and album #5 is already being worked on. New single will be released this year. Huge, heartfelt thanks to Doug Aldrich & Jack Blades for lending their immense talents to the first three albums!"
Revolution Saints was conceptualized by Frontiers Records president Serafino Perugino. The band released three albums with the Castronovo / Blades / Aldrich line-up: Revolution Saints (2015), Light In The Dark (2017) and Rise (2020).
