Paradise Lost Announce New Drummer Guido Zima
Paradise Lost announced the official addition of a new drummer yesterday, Guido Zima. Their former drummer Waltteri Väyrynen announced he was leaving the band in 2022.
Guitarist and keyboardist Greg Mackintosh says about the new addition:
“We welcome Guido as Paradise Lost’s new drummer. He cut his teeth with us on our European tour at the end of 2022. Guido did such a good job that we have decided to make him our new drummer, and he will be playing on all upcoming PL shows and working on new material with us for our next album due out next year.”
The band will play several festival shows this summer before returning to the studio to work on their next studio album.
