Dragonwind Part Ways With Keyboardist

New York metallers, Dragonwind, issue the following update regarding the departure of their keyboardist:

"After several months of working diligently with keyboardist G.B. Maxwell, we have decided that a keyboard player will not work with the band. Though they may sound phenomenal on a recording, in a live setting the keyboards seem to battle the other instruments to be heard, therefore losing the dynamic that gives Dragonwind their signature sound. G.B. Maxwell feel's no ill will towards the band, and remains as a permanent friend to the band, and its members. From here we will continue to work on material for the next album, in which keyboards will appear on the recording only, played by members of the band."
