Black Pyramid to Play London Desertfest
…And it’s not bullshit. Bassist Gein and drummer Clay Neely have decided to continue the band without guitarist Andy “Dinger” Beresky, and have joined forces with none other than Maple Forum alum Darryl Shepard (Blackwolfgoat, Hackman, Milligram, et al) to fill the vacant role. There’s reportedly an official announcement coming in the next day or so, so I’ll have more on it then, but in the meantime, this new incarnation of Black Pyramid has been added to next year’s London Desertfest, and here’s the flyer to prove it:
Black Pyramid‘s II full-length was also released by MeteorCity this Black Friday weekend. More info on that here.

THAT IS TOO COOL. Congratulations to the new (and improved) Black Pyramid.
It’s funny because at one point I had thought about Gein and Clay continuing on and the only name to come to mind to “fill” Andy’s spot was Darryl. It will be interesting to hear his interpretation of already written sings, but moving forward I think the band’s sound is going to change somewhat…it is inevitable.
“…of already written *songs*…”
I was bummed when Andy left, particularly because I was eager for the new CD to come out. So This is great news, Darryl rocks, and is the only guy that comes to mind that could handle not just filling the vacancy left by Andys departure, but also breathing his own life into the songs. It Should also be very cool hearing what they come up with for new songs too, cause Darryl knows how to riff.
As long as they still melt faces!
