According to Emerald, there are no hard feelings between the leaving drummer and the rest of the band.
Andreas Bächler recorded the drums for Emerald\'s upcoming album \'Hymns to Steel\', which is set for a September release through Pure Steel Records. He will play his last concert with Emerald in autumn after the release of the new album.
New drummer Alex Spicher is a very known one from the Emerald crew: he drew the artwork for the group\'s debut album \'Rebels of our Time\' and designed the Emerald logo.
The first concert with the new line-up will be held on May 29, 2007 as support for Sabaton on their European tour in Uster, Switzerland.
