German power metal act Primal Fear announced that the band has split with drummer Randy Black due to irreconcilable differences between him and vocalist Ralf Scheepers. Black will perform with the band at the Summer Breeze Festival this weekend and then immediately be relieved of duties. Black joined the band in 2003 and performed on the last six studio releases dating back to 2004's Devil's Ground.

Official statement from the band: "Due to irreconcilable differences between singer Ralf Scheepers and drummer Randy Black, Primal Fear announce that Randy will leave the band effective August 16th, 2014 - one day after the band's performance at the Summer Breeze Festival, Randy's final show with the band. Primal Fear will announce their new drummer in September. We wish Randy all the best in his future career!"
