Slayer kicks off the second leg of their North American farewell tour today and it looks like there’s been an unexpected shuffle with Lamb of God. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, drummer Chris Adler has to sit out for the entire run. At Adler’s recommendation, the group has recruited Art Cruz (Prong/Winds of Plague) to fill in for him on the trek.

The group shared the following message:

“Due to unforeseen circumstances, we regret to inform you that Chris Adler will not be performing on our upcoming North American tour with Slayer. In his absence, we would like to welcome Art Cruz, who will be filling in at the recommendation of Chris. We expect to see Chris returning in the very near future. We will see you all on the road soon.”
