sounds like Chris is already in another band, they got a show lined up

Shame really. Chris is one of the best drummers around. Sad to see him leave.

He's probably sick of playing the same thing since 2003.

art cruz?
I swear isnt that the drummer from winds of plague

Damn that sucks. It's hard to picture LoG without his unique style.

Damn, he was easily one of the best parts of the band.

lamb of plague. winds of god

lame of god tho amirite fam??!!?! LOOOLLLL

Crazy. He's also the band dad. Basically management iirc. Wonder if he'll continue on that front.

I've thought something was up ever since that interview he did with Sam Dunn back in like '15 when he said playing with Megadeth is where he wanted to end up.

Interesting. Always been one of my favorite drummers.

Sad news, didn't even know adler wasn't playing when I saw them last year in Dortmund.

Man, that's really sad to hear. I'm a huge fan of both Chris and the band, he's easily one of the most gifted drummers in the game.

Damn, well best of luck to Mr. Cruz I suppose, he's got big shoes to fill.

This is a bummer tbh
On the other hand, Art Cruz is a perfectly fine drummer. I have no doubt he'll be able to play Chris' stuff effortlessly. It's just that when it comes down to the new material I'm curious whether he'll be able to bring as much to the table as Chris did. Time will tell.

Damn this sucks. Art is a fantastic drummer for sure, but Chris is just unique and such an integral part of the LoG sound, I don't know how are they gonna do it. Chris is one of those few drummers you instantly know it's him as soon as you hear him playing, hard to replace something like that.

yea that sucks. he was a huge part of their sound honestly. very easy to recognize his style. will be interesting to hear them with a new drummer.

Holy shit. One of my idols as I started taking to the kit. I feel like he's lost a bit of his chops after seeing some recent live footage of him. Definitely an influential and awesome drummer. Contributed a lot

Dude was a god in his earlier days when the music really seemed to matter. LoG is not LoG without Chris IMO.

Pretty sure I saw him at Avail last night haha

I saw Art play with them at Hellfest and i mean he was not terrible but he was not as tight as Adler, and as for LoG, idk the way they are parting ways with such a essential member sounds... pretty indifferent?

rumor has it he's going to be touring with Corey Feldman in Fall 2019

Yeah, there's definitely more to this, that weak-ass statement can't be all on the subject.

I'm almost willing to bet money that Chris is gonna say he was kicked out or found out he was out of the band on Blabbermouth. For the departure of a member who's been there since the beginning, that statement is way too detached to not be suspicious.

Yeah, and considering his brother is still in the band it makes it even weirder. There's definitely some information they haven't disclosed yet.

Dude was hugely inspiring to me when I started was starting to drum. Sad news.

Rubbish news, always dug Adler’s style and he seems like a cool guy.

WHAT

LoG is way past their prime so they should call it quits already. They're not doing anything new or interesting anymore

lame, adler is a god tier drummer. hopefully he does good work in whatever future endeavors he has

I agree that Chris might have lost some of what made him great. Wonder if that contributed to stepping down?

Alder just released a statement

lol no surprise. I quit because i was tired of playing the same stuff all the time, like every touring musician ever
