Ex-BLIND GUARDIAN Drummer Starts New Project

Vocalist David DeFeis (Virgin Steele), drummer Thomen Stauch (on the photo; ex-Blind Guardian, Savage Circus) and guitarist Axel Ritt (Domain) have joined forces in a new, as-yet-unnamed band. The group is still looking for a suitable bass player, although the songwriting process for the debut album has already begun. The musical direction is described as “an extraordinary fusion of power, speed, epic and symphonic metal elements.”
