Power metallers Symphorce, featuring Brainstorm frontman Andy B. Franck, have parted ways with drummer Sascha Sauer (photo).\"Right after an amazing tour, Sascha [Sauer] suddenly decided to leave after more than four years in the band. His decision was based on personal reasons. (...) We hope to get everything fixed in time and hope Sascha will find his way\"
Fortunately the band have recruited not one but two guest drummers for the shows that are already booked and confirmed. Symphorce will be helped out by Andy Flache (usually one of their roadies) and Steffen Theurer (ex-Chinchilla, Woodpeckers).
Symphorce\'s latest album, \"Godspeed\", was released in September via Metal Blade Records. The follow-up to 2004\'s \"Twice Second\" was recorded at House of Music studios in Winterach, Germany and features ten tracks.
A limited-edition version of the album includes a bonus DVD of approximately 45 minutes of \"live and backstage\" footage and the video clip for \"Cause of Laughter\".
