King Diamond announced the addition of Gus G. to the band’s lineup; he will “compose, record, and tour with King Diamond in the future, marking an exciting new chapter in the band’s rich history.”
The band expresses its deepest gratitude and utmost respect for Andy La Rocque, whose exceptional 40-year contribution to the band has left a lasting and irreplaceable mark on heavy metal as a whole. Andy’s musicality, dedication, and artistic mastery have been an essential part of what makes this band what it is, and that will never be forgotten.
King Diamond commented: “It is a great honor for me to welcome Gus G. as our new guitarist. Gus will continue to pursue all of his current projects—Firewind, his solo project, etc.—without restrictions, just with careful planning. We’re already working with Gus, and I just can’t wait for you to hear all our new music with him on guitar! STAY HEAVY.”
