German heavy/power metallers Axel Rudi Pell have announced that they have parted ways with Mike Terrana, who has been sitting behind the drums for the last 14 and a half years. Mike has participated on 9 full length albums as a full time member of Axel Rudi Pell.

The band's mainman Axel Rudi Pell comments: "Due to scheduling conflicts with his other commitments, I had to make this decision unfortunately. He wouldn't be available for our shows in 2014 and that wouldn't make sense to carry on with him. I would like to thank Mike for the past 14 and a half years, where we successfully worked together and wish him all the best for his future career."
