Original Downlord drummer Rasmus Schmidt, who appeared on their first demo from 2005, will return to his former band for the three shows as support of Bolt Thrower on the second leg of their \"Those Still Loyal\" European tour.\"It\'s going to be fantastic to be able to play shows with — and hang out with — one of the greatest bunch of people in the metal scene ever! I\'m over the fucking moon to be playing a show with Downlord and Bolt Thrower!\"
These gigs will see the initial steps into the live arena for Downlord, launching their live career. Rasmus Schmidt and the other Downlords will play on these confirmed dates:
Downlord\'s new demo features the contributions of acclaimed Danish drummer Reno Kiilerich (photo), who has previously played with Dimmu Borgir, Vile, Panzerchrist and Dew-Scented, among other groups. Killerich could not make it for Downlord\'s live shows due to conflicting work schedules.
Other support during Bolt Thrower\'s second leg of the \'Those Still Loyal\' tour comes from God Dethroned, featuring drum talent Ariën van Weesenbeek. Previously Gorefest, with Ed Warby on the drum throne, had been confirmed as \"very special guest\" for these shows.
