Italian folk/power metal band, Wind Rose have checked in with the following announcement:

Sometimes changes have to happen: we decided to part ways with our beloved friend and drummer Daniele Visconti, one of the former members of the band. This wasn’t a simple decision, but it was taken by both parts in a more than friendly way: as a brilliant and all-round drummer he has got to spend more time in developing his own career as a musician, and this thing didn’t merge with the plans of the band.

We would like to wish him a glorious career as a drummer, ‘cause his talent and his perseverance are really unusual things to find nowadays. Good luck with everything Dan!

The show must go on: we will of course do all the planned shows and we will announce many more soon! Ancient Bards‘ drummer Federico Gatti will help us behind the drums in the months to come.
