Johnny Kelly (
Type O Negative, Danzig, A Pale Horse Named Death....)
KILL DEVIL HILL are proud to announce the addition of
TYPE O NEGATIVE drummer
Johnny Kelly to the band.
Kelly, who also plays with
DANZIG and his own band
A PALE HORSE NAMED DEATH, replaces the recently departed
Vinny Appice.“I’m really excited about coming on board with
Kill Devil Hill,” says
Kelly. “I’ve been a fan since their debut and have known the guys for a long-time. It’s also clear that I have some really big shoes to fill. I’m ready for that challenge as I prepare for
KDH’s next chapter – this is gonna be a blast!”
The band will play their first shows with
Kelly behind the kit April 4-6 [see dates below], three warm-up shows before embarking on an Australian run with
KILLSWITCH ENGAGE. More expansive North American dates will be announced shortly.
Adds
KILL DEVIL HILL bassist
Rex Brown: “We all have a lot of love and respect for
Vinny and have been honored to have jammed with him over the last few years – we wish
Vinny well with all his future endeavors, it has been a blast!”
“It’s been a great musical adventure from the beginning, but the time has now come to go our separate ways and continue to make music that we love,” says
Appice of his decision to leave the band.
