Andols Herrick (ex-Chimaira) will feature as a guest on UAE-based extreme metallers Benevolent's upcoming debut album, which will be released in the spring of 2012 via Spellbind Records. The band is currently in the recording process and is adding drummer Andols Herrick as a featured musician to record one track on the album.

Lead guitarist Hadi Sarieddine stated: "It is pretty crazy thinking that Andols Herrick is going to be drumming on one of our songs; if I go back in time and tell past-me that this was happening I'd probably get a pretty sarcastic reaction. The last couple of years since we started the band have been absolutely insanely great for us; getting such great reviews for the debut record, getting signed to Spellbind Records, and now this? I can't think that things could be any better for the band, I'm really proud of how things are coming together."

Andols Herrick commented on his work with Benevolent: "I was approached by Hadi Sarieddine a while back about the possibility of tracking drums for Benevolent. I was quite impressed with the quality of the music and vocals. I love having the opportunity to work with a great band, who happens to represent the Middle East metal scene very well. I do know it is very vibrant having had the pleasure of performing with Chimaira at the Desert Rock Festival in Dubai back in 2009."
