Derek Roddy replaces Chris Adler (Lamb Of God), who recently had to bow out due to other commitments. See also this news posting here on Drummerszone. Project mastermind Jarzombek is very happy with the addition of Roddy:

\"Alex and I are stoked to welcome Derek to the fold — he is an incredible drummer. His skills and abilities work out extremely well for us since we are writing and recording separately and sending files back and forth via the internet. Derek, Alex and I got a chance to meet up at NAMM last week, had a great time talking about the project, and are all very hyped to get things moving.\"

Derek Roddy will begin recording at Mana Recording Studios in Florida, probably with Erik Rutan producing, after his band Hate Eternal gets back from their upcoming European tour.

Blotted Science\'s first CD is dubbed \"The Machinations Of Dementia\", the earlier tentative project name.

In related Roddy news: the drummer has recently added two new videos on his website, one explaining how to do heel-toe hi-hat splashes, and the other a demo and explanation of the song I, Monarch. Check the videos here.
