Rick Anderson, previous
Warlord singer (and now back there*),
aka Damien King III, has been Martiria
singer from the first album, in 2004
till the recording of On
the way back, in 2011.
In January 2012, in order to move
in the direction of a more intense
LIVE activity (made difficult by the
physical distance between the singer
and the rest of the members), Rick
Anderson and Andy take the very suffered
decision to split their ways after
ten long years together. The heavy
heritage of Damien King was
taken in 2013 by Flavio
Cosma.
After ten years, four albums recorded
and an unforgettable live experience,
Andy, Marco, Umberto and Derek want
to thank sincerely Rick Anderson for
the contribution he gave in developing
the Martiria Project. His presence
has been fundamental for the success
of the band, and his friendship is
invaluable for us, since he is both
a great man and a brother for us.
God bless you, Rick. It's a see-you-soon,
not a farewell.
