Arizona Thrash Metal veterans SACRED REICH have parted ways with longtime drummer Dave McClain. Replacing him for SACRED REICH’s European shows in November with HATEBREED will be Eduardo Baldo, the Brazilian drummer who most recently played with the Los Angeles-based band RED DEVIL VORTEX.
SACRED REICH released the following statement via social media: “Dave McClain is no longer a member of SACRED REICH. We wish him the best. Our friend Eduardo Baldo will be playing the HATEBREED shows with us in November in Europe. We thank him for jumping in on such short notice.
“We are excited for this new chapter in SACRED REICH history.
“We are finishing up our new record ‘Into The Abyss’ that will be released in the Spring of 2026 on Metal Blade Records.
“Great things are coming. We can’t wait to share it with you.
