Dave McClain Issues Statement On Departure From Sacred Reich

Dave McClain has addressed his recent departure from Sacred Reich, following the band’s announcement on October 20th that he would be stepping away. The veteran drummer has been replaced temporarily by Eduardo Baldo for upcoming live performances.

In a message shared to social media, McClain reflected on his time with the band and thanked fans for their support:

“As I’m sure you’ve heard, I’m no longer with Sacred Reich. Since rejoining in 2018 we made great music and had fun times together. I’ve decided to move on and I wish them all the best in the future! If you’ve been at a Sacred Reich show over the last 6 years, it was my pleasure to perform for you and to meet a lot of you.

Still 100% doing my thing, whether it’s touring, recording, teaching or just playing in my home studio.

Hope to see you all out there in the world again. Now back to my drum room!

Thanks, Dave”

McClain’s history with Sacred Reich spans two eras — first joining the group from 1991 to 1996, and returning in 2018 before his recent departure.
