Deadly announcement! One of my introductory bands into death metal. Never managed to see them live. A trip down to Dolans sounds good.

Caught them three years ago at Netherlands Deathfest. Incredible experience. The highlight of Friday night along with Demolition Hammer. Weekend dates mean it's a no brainer. Fantastic announcement.

Saw there on insta that Ingram is sitting out a bunch of festival shows due to some health issues. That Oscar Rilo guy and Dave Hunt from Anal Nathrakh are covering the shows.

They released a statement saying that Ingram is packing it in due to ill health but will be doing some select dates on the current tour to say good bye to fans

Hunt will be back in for a while so, I reckon. He did a decent job on the couple of albums he sang on previously.

FROM BEYOND!...
Exciting news for our friends in Latin/South America I!!

Benediction can now confirm that the guy assuming the frontman/vocalist position on their LATAM tour in November will be the original voice of Death Metal, KAM LEE!

The band are super excited about the prospect of working with Kam and are looking forward to going back on the road in one of their favourite territories.

Here is a direct message from the Man Himself;

"I am excited to be joining Benediction as vocalist for the LATAM tour. Given my long-term friendship with Dave Ingram, it was vital for me to obtain his dark blessing before stepping into this position.
The band has been aided by notable talent, including Oscar Rilo and Dave Hunt, who have both delivered impressive live performances.
I'm eager to follow their lead and hope to adequately represent the band and satisfy the fans."
 
So there it is! Go grab your tickets and let's make this historic event something people will talk about for years!!!
This promises to be a real case of 'legends collide' and a true celebration of
 'OLD SCHOOL! DEATH METAL!'
