Great Band that has always been at the forefront of Extreme Metal. I
want to first thank Erik Lindmark for always believing in me and
pushing me to be the best drummer I could be. I would also like to
thank Craig Peters, Ivan Mungia, past members of DOF, my Family,
Friends and all the Fans that have supported me and DOF over the years.
This was a personal decision and by no means an easy one. I wish DOF
all the Best in their future endeavors!" The band wishes Mike well and

work on their new album without him.
