The band has parted ways with guitarist Eric Klinger and has replaced him with Marshall Stephens.
“We would like to thank Eric for his years of dedication and friendship, and we wish nothing but the best for him and his family,” the band writes in a statement. “At the same time, we are very pleased to welcome our new rhythm guitarist Marshall Stephens into the PRO-PAIN lineup.
Marshall and JC [Dwyer, drums] are old friends, and have been in several bands together over the years (GONEMAD, SHRILL, etc…). This past weekend [July 21-22], we rehearsed with Marshall for the first time, and we are very happy to report that PRO-PAIN have never sounded better!! We could have literally played a gig the first night, as Marshall played the entire live set flawlessly!!
We look forward to bringing our new lineup to the stage this September, and we once again thank Eric Klinger for all of the good times and great performances.”
PRO-PAIN will team up with France’s ZUUL FX and Holland’s DEMIA for a European tour in September.
The band released its new album, “Age Of Tyranny / The Tenth Crusade”, in Europe on March 30.
