Thomen Stauch (drums; ex-Blind Guardian, Savage Circus, David DeFeis (vocals; Virgin Steele) and Axel Ritt (guitar; Domain) have joined forces in a new, as-yet-unnamed band. The group's musical direction will be "a combination of their musical backgrounds [to] give the fans exactly what they expect," according to a statement released to blabbermouth.net. The band has already commenced the songwriting process for its debut album, which "will be an extraordinary fusion of power, speed, epic and symphonic metal elements." To round out the lineup, the band is still looking for a suitable bass player.
