Dustin Pearl was drummer in Norway's Grimfist until May 2005. Pearl was followed up by Christian Svendsen, a.k.a. Anti Christian (Tsjuder, The Cumshots). Grimfist stated on their web site: "Due to different reasons, things did not work out between him and Grimfist, with distance being the main factor. Him living in L.A, and the rest of us in Norway made this very hard, but we'd like to take the opportunity to thank him for all the time, hard work and dedication he put into this band."
