According to the group, Lauridsen is a true talent on the drums and a perfect replacement for previous drummer Johnny Nielsen (photo).

Nielsen left in April 2006. Konkhra issued the following update regaring their new sticksman and recording plans:

\"Now we can finally start getting album number six together. We also have a MySpace profile up which features a demo track which has the working title \'Killswitch One\'. We will let you know how things are coming together in the coming months. There is a lot of material we have to dig through to decide what will make the best album.\"

Konkhra released their latest album, \"Reality Check\", in May 2003 through Code666 Records. The album was recorded at guitarist/vocalist Anders Lundemark\'s own Starstruck Studio and was the group\'s first since their split with longtime label Diehard Records.
