Official press release:
Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals are pleased to welcome former Cattle Decapitation bassist/current Scour guitarist Derek Engemann to the lineup. Engemann — who takes the place of bass comrade Walter Howard (Grieved, Oppressive Force, Vaginal Bear Trap etc.) — will make his live debut with The Illegals beginning next week on the band’s Latin American tour where the band will be performing Illegals’ tracks alongside a selection of Pantera hits. Comments Anselmo of the new addition:
“Derek is a brother; he’s solid, driven, and talented. It’s awesome to have him onboard and I look forward to jamming and writing with him. We’re lucky to have him.”
Adds Engemann:
“I’m very excited to share the stage with mi hermanos in The Illegals! It’s also truly an honor to pay such a great tribute to Dime and Vinnie!”
