Dan Mullins Thunder Struck

May 28 2010

Back in January after our shows in Greece, Dan managed to sustain a knee injury which resulted in him having to take some time out from drumming.

Whilst it seems he is at the end of this break there is still some time needed to heal & recover in which he is unable to represent MDB on the throne of thunder this summer, although we may see a return before summer is out & most assuredly by the years end he/we figured it best not to rush into these shows & risk aggrevating his injury causing problems for our entire stint of already confirmed dates and future l.p. writing and recording.

Rather than cancel the shows we felt it important to celebrate our 20th anniversary year, whilst Dan rests up we have drafted in a most talented sticksman in the form of Mr David Gray of Akercocke fame to fill in, whilst Shaun Winter Steels (yes ex MDB Shaun) has been keeping the band in trim through some of the more sparser area's of rehearsals with David. So the band is in top gig form thanks to these two.

Rehearsals have been intense with both drummers particularly bringing David upto speed on the set ready for this summer, however the Doom machine still turns & MDB are ready to bring you the quailty you deserve.

As soon as Dan has the all clear we will let you all know, but for now a darkly miserable welcome to David and a heartily morose thankyou to Shaun Winter Steels for pitching in when it really counted.
