Ariel Alvarado toured with Malevolent Creation, but was replaced by Tony Laureano (Nile, Angel Corpse) in March 2003, before the band departed to Europe and South America.



Ariel Alvarado joined Los Angeles-based death metallers Coffin Texts in 2002 after initial drummer Marce Castro decided to depart. Previously he drummed in Drakonis.



However, in June 2004 Alvaro was out and Castro was back in again.
