Artist News: Cage Announces Departure Bassist, Lead Guitarist; Introduces New Band Members

Posted on Tuesday, May 11 @ 20:00:00 UTC by nightowl

From mid-April: Founding bassist Mike Giordano and lead guitarist Anthony Wayne McGinnis have recently exited Cage after many years of true metal madness, with Mike departing due to medical reasons and Anthony for family reasons.

Replacing Mike is monster bassist Steve Brogden, who is the lead guitarist / vocalist for the aggressive power thrash metal band Howler.

Replacing Anthony is shredding lead guitarist Garrett Peters of the melodic death metal band Climhazzard and punk metal band Sayaka.



Cage vocalist Sean Peck says "All of us in Cage would like to sincerely thank Mike G. and Anthony for the years of dedication and devotion to the band. There are lots of great memories that we shared as we rocked around the world together. They will always be a part of who we are as a band and they both will be sorely missed. As we move forward with Steve Brogden and Garrett Peters, there is a killer level of excitement and enthusiasm as with anything new and fresh. We have already been writing together with the new lineup and cannot wait to get to Largo, Florida on April 30th to unleash the beast at Swordfest."
