Von Doom - The New Line-Up

Hello again to all of our loving fans/friends out there! It's been a while since you have all had an update on the workings of Von Doom, and we have quite the update to give!

The search for our new drummer has ended, and we are proud to announce the arrival of former Destination: Oblivion drummer Dan Ruelas to the ranks! We believe that he is the perfect fit for tackling the heavy duties of learning the old songs, as well as getting our latest material ready. He looks forward to meeting and rocking out with you all very soon!

Our new material is going in a fresh new direction. So many influences are starting to show in our new music, which got all of us in the band considering what could make our music sound the most alive, the most dynamic, and above all, the most brutal it can be. Which brings us to the latest change in the band:

Ali Dika, our vocalist of nearly two years, will no longer be performing with us. With Ali we have played approximately fifteen shows, recorded our debut EP, and established the band we have worked so hard to make. This was an entirely professional decision, and was in no way based on any sort of personal grudge between the band and Ali. We greatly appreciate all the work he put into this band, and his work/material will not go without notice. We wish him luck on his future endeavors, and hope that he finds success.

It is with tremendous excitement that we announce the arrival of former Our Own Blood vocalist Christian Collins to the band as our new vocalist! His abrasive, aggressive, and energetic vocal and live performance style is exactly what we know will be the perfect compliment to our new songs, as well as breathe new life into the old. He cannot wait to get on stage again, and neither can we!

We will keep you all posted on when you can hear new material from the new Von Doom line-up, as well as when we will be having our first show. Keep your eyes peeled!

New line-up, new gear, new songs, new voice. Von Doom is back!

Stay Tuned,

Billy Serocki (Lead Guitar)
