On behalf of Dungeon, I'd firstly like to say good luck to Stevo with his future endevours!
The parting was a friendly one and was a mutual decision. As time goes on, band relationships change in both personal and professional ways.
Indeed, as Stevo mentioned, this decision we have come to has been lurking for quite some time but only now has it come to a head when it became clear that neither party was happy with how things were progressing. A decison was finally made to part ways.
We'd like to reinforce also what Stevo was saying in that there is no animosity between us whatsoever and any rumours that may be heard to the contrary are absolutely false! Unless you hear it from either a Dungeon member or Stevo himself, take it as just that - an unsubstantiated rumour.
Now, on a much more positive note, we would like to announce that our new permanent drummer is none other than ex-Infernal Method drumming god, Grahame Goode!
During our time we played with Grahame on the recent Edguy tour, we realised what had been missing in the band for quite some time - the enthusiasm and fire behind the kit.
Again, this is no dig at Stevo's drumming ability - anyone who has seen Stevo's incredible playing in Vaticide recently will surely know what I mean - but if your heart isn't in it, it shows, and we weren't feeling this in the band anymore.
Grahame's joining of Dungeon has signaled the start of the next exciting chapter of the band and has even further re-ignited our drive to take Dungeon to the absolute top and show the world what Aussie metal can be when it's done well!
So in closing, we would again like to thank Stevo for his time, knowledge, hard work, song writing collaboration and most of all, his friendship over the last 8 years. Stevo - It's been a wild ride, man, glad you were part of it! Good luck!
