Black Label Society Announce New Drummer
Black Label Society have recruited drummer Will Hunt of Evanescence, etc. fame to handle the drums for them. He replaces Craig Nunenmacher, who recently exited the group. The band issued the following statement on Hunt‘s addition to the line-up:
“Longtime rock drummer Will Hunt has been selected to play drums on the upcoming Black Label Society album and tour. Will, who has performed with a variety of rock bands over the last decade, has recently drummed for Evanescence and Methods Of Mayhem. His commitment to BLS is for the upcoming album and tour. At the moment it looks like Will will perform double duty as he is still working with Evanescence and will be involved in their future plans down the road as well. More details are forthcoming…”

A strange choice indeed. When it comes down to it, a paycheck’s a paycheck, and the guy is probably happy to be with a more reputable act. However, I would picture BLS going into some sleazy bar and recruiting the guy who can handle his whiskey and hold a beat at the same time. As opposed to poaching a drummer from Evanescence.
Will’s a great drummer, but I didn’t even know Evanescence still existed. Last I saw him, he was drumming for Static-X.
