As we completed work on track 10 of Orphan, it became very obvious we would need a second guitar player to pull off the multi-track compositions that Takafumi had been creating. We tried a few different candidates but finally, one has stuck.

We are happy to share that Steve Procopio has joined GridLink as guitar 2. You might know Steve from his work in Human Remains or seen him on tour with Discordance Axis in 97 and 2001.

On a personal note, it's pretty great working with Steve again, what with our aborted attempt as a grind band, War Chalking, and our years of friendship before/during and after, I am very much looking forward to what Steve has in store for us.

Orphan is shaping up to be a much different record than Amber Gray...just as fast, but a whole new animal. See you at MDF :)
