Nieuwe bassist voor Dragonforce
Dragonforce is weer compleet na het aantrekken van een nieuwe bassist. Het volgende bericht staat op de website van de band:
The mighty DRAGONFORCE have found themselves a new bassist. Stepping up to fill the slot vacated last year by Adrian Lambert, who left the band to spend more time with his family, is DRAGONFORCE’s current ‘touring bassist’ Frederic Leclercq.
Formerly guitarist with French metal outfit, Heavenly, Fred is a longtime friend of DRAGONFORCE guitarist, Herman Li. Whilst out on the road with DRAGONFORCE, the band realised that Fred fitted into the band perfectly and invited him to join on a permanent basis.
Fred is a bit of a super-talented ‘multi-man’. As well as being fluent in the English, French and German languages (and swear words in most others!), Fred is actually multi-instrumental (he plays guitar, bass, keyboards and sings) in multiple metal genres (death, speed, thrash, classical, glam, black and just plain metal and rock).
Fred’s accession to full-time status adds even more international colour to DRAGONFORCE’s ranks. The London-based outfit can now boast a South African frontman (ZP Theart), guitarists from Hong Kong and New Zealand (Herman Li and Sam Totman, respectively), a Ukrainian keyboardsman (Vadim Pruzhanov) to add to their British drummer (Dave Mackintosh) and now, French bassist.
