On today’s ‘Talk Is Jericho’ podcast, Avenged Sevenfold vocalist M. Shadows has revealed that they have picked up former Bad Religion member, Brooks Wackerman to be the band’s new drummer. Bad Religion and Wackerman parted ways last week after being in the band for more than a decade.

Check out M. Shadows’ statement below.

“To be honest, Brooks’ name has always been in the mix. It was one of the names we were throwing around when Jimmy [“The Rev” Sullivan] passed away in terms of who was going to step up for Nightmare. We felt Mike [Portnoy] was the right choice and we still feel that way. Mike just destroyed on the record. He was perfect. But at the time, our tour manager brought up Brooks’ name as well. But at the time he was also busy with Bad Religion and it was also… people were going to look at it differently because he was a punk drummer at this point,”
