After three plus years of touring the world together and playing on our latest album "The March", we have parted ways with drummer Derek Kerswill. The most notable reason for the split are the creative differences. The time has come for Unearth to write a new album and creating music with a tight unit is the only way we can assure the best collection of songs possible. The differences between Kerswill and the band started off as subtle, but became increasingly obvious over the past few months and it was time for both parties to go their separate ways.

We have shared a ton of great experiences and achieved many of the goals we set for ourselves in the time he was in the band. There is no ill will from either side of this decision and we wish him only the best moving forward.

"Creative differences are real and unfortunately have gotten the best of me. I wish the guys luck in the future and thank you to everyone who ever loved + supported "The March"," Kerswill said.

Unearth won't skip a beat, though, as we will be announcing a replacement drummer for our upcoming European stint on the Persistence Tour shortly. Lastly some exciting plans are coming together for the recording to the follow up to "The March" sometime early in 2011.



The drummer from misery signals will be filling in.

old news is old.

SEEMLESS REUNION OR GET THE FUCK OUT.

Angel Dust performances at Ralphs are also sufficient.

the first 1/2 of that was 10.25, the second was 11.2

i like how instead of saying WHO is filling in, the only say "the drummer from misery signals".... I'm sure he appreciates that.

could be an insight as to why derek left.

If he didn't want to be the drummer from Misery Signals, then he shouldn't have played for Misery Signals.

Isn't Derek back in the red chord now?

You are thinking mike

Terrible band is terrible.

eh i liked the first couple albums. stings was really good.

I THINK she meant they could have used his actual name.

THEN HE SHOULDN'T HAVE DRUMMED FOR MISERY SIGNALS.
