According to Blabbermouth, Dave Lombardo (Ex-Slayer) has joined the band Amen. He will be featured on the band’s new album, and be part of the band’s immediate touring plans.

Lombardo said the following about joining:

“I am very proud to have been asked to be part of this amazing production with Casey Chaos and Ross Robinson.

My career in thrash was created from my love of the punk genre. There is an excitement in this particular style of music that’s vital for me. It’s aggressive, honest and needed.

I’m looking forward to performing with AMEN before returning to Europe with PHILM in September.”

Amen vocalist, Casey Chaos said the following:

It’s great to be working again with Dave, this time in AMEN. He brought so much power, aggression and passion to the music on the new record, in a way only he could only deliver. Without question this is THE most important album I’ve ever made. I’m looking forward to unleashing it live and destroying ourselves for your pleasure!”
