German female-fronted hard rockers Skew Siskin have parted ways with drummer Randy Black due to "scheduling conflicts."

"As many of you know, [Randy's] the drummer of Primal Fear and Dusk Machine," the group explains in a statement. "If you take a look at his MySpace page, you'll understand straight away that it wouldn't be possible for him to get all bands under one hat, especially around autumn. We therefore took Randy's advice to look for a permanent drummer and agreed that this is the way it should go."

The band adds, "When Randy started to play with Skew Siskin in 2005, we thought that it wouldn't last for more than a few months as he was committed to Primal Fear. Yet, three years have past during which we had a lot of great shows together and also recorded our current album, 'Peace Breaker', with him, where he definitely pushed the Skew Siskin drum skills to higher levels. Therefore, please give a special applause to Randy once more, and we say 'A Big Thank You!!'"

Replacing Randy Black in Skew Siskin's current lineup is Sansi Janiba. According to the group, "Sansi has been living in Berlin for a few years and brought chaos to the scene with a few bands. He's the born rock 'n' roll drummer with voracity to wear away drum skins and drum sticks, which makes him a welcome guest in the local music stores. That's the 'problem' when you add Ramones to your favorite bands list.

"You will hear more about Sansi in the near future. At the moment, we're getting ready for the shows, spending every day in the rehearsal room, with Sansi adding a beast-like heavy power dose to drive our songs."
