MEGADETH currently boast one of metal’s most esteemed lineups, but they’ll have a new face behind the kit for their upcoming shows. As Chris Adler remains committed to his primary outfit LAMB OF GOD, MEGADETH have recruited SOILWORK‘s Dirk Verbeuren to sit behind the kit.

The festival circuit has just begun to heat up all over the world, making it difficult for Adler to pull double duty in two powerhouse bands. With Lamb of God currently in the midst of a headlining North American run, the drummer personally suggested MEGADETH should have Verbeuren fill the vacancy for the time being.
