Dimmu Borgir Recruit New Drummer For Ozzfest

Norwegian symphonic black metallers DIMMU BORGIR have recruited NILE's Tony Laureano as a session drummer for the duration of Ozzfest 2004 after the group's Danish skinsman, Reno Kiilerich, was unable to obtain a U.S. work visa in time to join the band on the road.

A spokesperson for DIMMU BORGIR's management has confirmed that the Norwegian symphonic black metal outfit have recruited NILE's Tony Laureano as a session drummer for the duration of Ozzfest 2004. "There have been problems to get the visa in time for Ozzfest for [the group's Danish skinsman] Reno [Kiilerich] due to super-slow processing at immigrations in the U.S. and the fact that the U.S. embassy in Oslo and all other close European countries where not able to give him an appointment for his personal interview in time to get the visa for Ozzfest," the spokesperson said.
