Uli Kusch's new band...

...is called Ride The Sky. Yeah. Sounds like a Helloween tribute band to me but we'll see what they're up to. Still a strange choice for a name considering he had nothing to do with Walls of Jericho...

RIDE THE SKY, the new band featuring ex-HELLOWEEN drummer and MASTERPLAN founder Uli Kusch alongside ex-TEARS OF ANGER/BEYOND TWILIGHT singer Bjørn Jansson and Benny Jansson on guitar, has signed a worldwide deal with Nuclear Blast Records.

"We're very happy that RIDE THE SKY has inked a deal with the label that has brought up so many great bands in the past years," states Uli. "We're looking forward to a creative cooperation with Nuclear Blast!" Jansson adds, "We are extremely proud about being part of the Nuclear Blast roster and together with Uli Kusch, our songwriting will take us to a whole new dimension."

RIDE THE SKY is currently writing songs for its upcoming debut album. The recording will be self-produced in the band's own studio (Monsterclan Studios N&S) with the help of a co-producer. Negotiations are currently underway with various parties regarding the mix.

RIDE THE SKY's debut album will be released around August/September 2007.

Who understand Uli? He quits Masterplan supposedly because he wanted to concentrated his efforts in Beautiful Sin and maybe a Mekong Delta reunion. And now another band? Silly IMO

Maybe he has enough time for all of them, Mekong Delta probably won't tour.
I'm curious to hear it, Uli has always been one of my favorite metal drummers.
