New York-based doomers Orodruin are pleased to welcome Randy Rowe as their new permanent drummer in the ranks. The band have recently finished tracking tunes for the new split release with Iron Void. It will consists of one original song from each band and a Pagan Altar cover each in tribute to the band and Terry Jones. More info coming soon.

Statement from the band as follows: "We are happy to announce our new drummer Randy Rowe (of Haishen) from Rochester, NY. Please give him a warm welcome as we gear up to rehearse for upcoming shows at Descendants of Crom in Pittsburgh, PA on June 3rd & 4th as well as the Maryland Doom Fest June 23rd - 26th in Frederick, MD. You will also hear him on our next split release with Iron Void in tribute to Terry Jones & Pagan Altar on Rafchild Records. Thanks to Raphael Päbst for making this happen as well as the blessings of Alan Jones and Annick Giroux.

"Orodruin have finished recording our material for the split. Our cover will be "In The Wake Of Armadeus" and Iron Void's is "Highway Cavalier". This will also feature an original song by both bands, "The Tolling Bell" by Iron Void and "In This Place" from us.

"We’d also like to extend thanks to our doom brother Kevin Latchaw (Argus) who graciously lended his drumming services to us at Hammer of Doom in Germany, and our last two gigs in Rochester, NY. We are forever grateful and hope our paths meet again!

"With a new year ahead of us we look forward to conjuring new material for our next full length on Cruz Del Sur and booking shows around the local area and beyond! We're also working on a new website to link all our pages together and get merchandise available to the masses.

"Cheers again for all the support since Ruins of Eternity has been released and we will see you soon!"
