"Due to my various activities with my company Bottom Row plus being the drummer and manager of my new band Unisonic, more and more I felt I was retarding Pink Cream 69's career. Chris is a great drummer and a good friend of the band since many years, which makes him the perfect match for Pink Cream 69."

The band already started recording their new album earlier this month.

The new, yet-untitled, effort will be released by Marquee/Avalon (Japan + SouthEast Asia) and Frontiers Records (rest of the world) in the Autumn of 2012.
