Paradise Lost, who are about to release their new album, The Plague Within, have announced that drummer Adrian Erlandsson will not be able to participate in the group's European tour or upcoming festival dates this year due to other commitments. However, the British metallers have already announced his replacement. Drumming duties have been left in the young capable hands of Waltteri Väyrynen who is stepping in to cover for Erlandsson. You might know him from Wolfheart and Vallenfyre.

Waltteri Väyrynen seems excited with the opportunity: "No words can explain how excited, grateful and honoured I am to do all these shows with Paradise Lost this year. The band has been one of my first and biggest influences ever since I was a little kid. Really looking forward to see all of you on the road! It's gonna be one hell of a year! Cheers!"
