Warbringer drummer Carlos Cruz has commented on the recent addition of guitarist Jeff Potts and bassist Ben Mottsman (both of Manic Ritual fame) to their lineup. Speaking on their latest recruits, he offered:
“Nearly 10 years in, over 1000 performances and countless miles traveled worldwide, Warbringer has to take whatever measures necessary in order to continue to move forward. More than ever, with the addition of Ben Mottsman on bass and Jeff Potts on guitar, the band has the strongest personal chemistry and musicianship to date. Being long time friends, it was picture perfect to bring them on board with their collective experience as working musicians. It’s funny to recall being the first person to accidentally run into them on the street in Hollywood when they first moved out to L.A. with Manic Ritual in 2008, and now it has come full circle to have them join Warbringer.”
