Mike Portney fills in for Avenged Sevenfold once again.

Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy has announced that he will fill in on drums for Avenged Sevenfold’s upcoming tour dates through the end of 2010. Read his statement below.

After having had such an amazing experience recording my drum tracks for the new Avenged Sevenfold album, we all knew it would be awesome if I’d be able to do some touring with the band after its release…

I am happy to say that the timing worked out perfectly that my touring cycle with Dream Theater (and Transatlantic) was coming to an end just as A7X’s was scheduled begin!(well, perfect for everyone except my poor family! Although I wish I could stay on board with A7X in a more permanent capacity, the reality is that I am commited to Dream Theater as my main priority (that is my baby afterall!), and I will need to resume work with DT to start a new album at some point in 2011….However, I will be able to join my brothers in Avenged Sevenfold for at least the duration of their touring throughout 2010…and hopefully this will give them the time to continue to heal and get comfortable back on the road….You can look at me like the band’s “rebound drummer” to buy them some time until they are comfortable and ready to make a commitment to somebody new for full-time relationship in their future!

In the meantime, I am real excited to hit the road with the boys…to bring my drumming from their new album to life on stage and to honor The Rev with all of their older material….

(Hey, do I get to have a cool, bad-ass stage name now???) : )

C-ya out there,  MP

Deception Of A Ghost have signed to Trustkill Records.

Official press release is below.

Trustkill is excited to announce the signing of Deception of A Ghost from North Carolina. DOAG seems to have set the standard of how to make it in today’s music biz by booking there own headlining tours all over the US. Guitarist and vocalist Buddy commented,”We just figured out from the start, we can’t wait for people to make this happen for us, they don’t care, we can do this on our own, shit really pays off!” The band armed with this DIY ethic has set out and played with Iwrestledabearonce, For The Fallen Dreams, In Fear And Faith, Vanna, Memphis May Fire, Stray From The Path, Stick To Your Guns, Greeley Estates, and more.

A collaboration of clean vocal melodies and thick screams blended with an onslaught of breakdowns and their triple harmony guitar attack is what shapes and molds their unique sound. Their freshly recorded album entitled “Speak up, You’re Not Alone” was recorded with Jamie King (Between The Buried And Me, For Today, He Is Legend) and will be released on Trustkill Records Summer 2010.

You can check out a few songs from the forthcoming debut album on Myspace HERE.
