DRAGONFORCE Split With Drummer, Announce Temporary Replacement

June 5, 2003

Drummer Didier Almouzni has officially left British melodic speed power metallers DRAGONFORCE.

The group, who released their debut album, "Valley of the Damned", through Sanctuary/Noise Records earlier this year, will be utilizing the services of temporary replacement Christian Wirtl (of Swedish power metal band SOUL SOURCE) during their appearance at Sweden Rock festival this weekend.

According to the group's official web site, "Christian only has two days to learn all the songs, and the first time he will play with DRAGONFORCE will be on stage at Sweden Rock! Due to the extreme short notice any rehearsals are not possible, but trust us, he is easily fast and good enough! We would like thank him for helping us out by taking this daunting task in such short notice. Canceling the show was never an option and we hope you'll all enjoy the show with whatever may arise due the circumstances beyond our control!"
