Portland rock band EMBERGHOST is thrilled
to announce that Michael Derks of legendary metal band GWAR, will
join the band as the featured guitarist on their Not Long For This
Earthproject. Derks connected with EMBERGHOST via
mutual friend Kristen Randall, who was announced last week as the
replacement for departed keyboardist and co-vocalist Sarah Jennings.
Derks says of his new venture:
"Kristen and I have been talking about doing a project
for years, and when she introduced me to EMBERGHOST, I saw the perfect
opportunity to do something different."
EMBERGHOST vocalist Parker says, "It's
really exciting to get to work with someone of this caliber. Mike brings a
unique perspective to this project, and it will be better for it."
Not Long For This Earth, which the band has
all but completely funded on Kickstarter, is EMBERGHOST's acoustic
retrospective celebrating the work they did with Sarah, who succumbed to brain
cancer in 2010. Produced by Rob Daiker, NLFTE is
collaboration with members of the Virginia Symphony Orchestra, and is expected
to be released this fall.
Derks will continue his work with GWAR, and appears with EMBERGHOST courtesy
of Metal Blade Records. "
