The reasoning behind this decision is simply differences in personalities and an overall difference in direction. Darren is an amazing musician and we harbor no ill feelings towards him. We wish him all the best. We are most excited to announce that Alex Tomlin, a long time friend of ours and an outstanding drummer, will be replacing Darren. His first shows with us will be on the “In Thrash We Trust” tour starting this Wednesday.

I'm sure that they will. Cesca's drum kit had a lot of piccolo snares and a billion other crazy items along with it. I'm sure the new guy will probably just play a more basic kit.

I bet he will be more along the lines of what Mike Van Dyne did. I don't think many people go as nuts as Cesca did on We Are The Nightmare.

I really liked Darren's work on We Are The Nightmare, he had a unique sound. Yeah the piccolo snare was a little on the weird side, but I liked his work.

Alex Tomlin is really really good. I've heard his stuff cause I'm from around Richmond, but Cesca is fucking nuts. I will miss his work with Arsis a ton.

Man, Cesca was great. Too bad he left. I don't expect much from the new guy
