Avenged Sevenfold have confirmed that they've recruited a new drummer - but they're still not revealing their identity.
The band split from their previous drummer, Arin Ilejay, back in July, citing "creative differences" as the reason behind his departure. Ilejay had been drafted in to replace James Sullivan, who died of a drug overdose in 2009.

In a new statement on their website, the band have now revealed that theyve replaed Ilejay with someone they've been working with for over a year now.
"It has been brought to our attention," reads the statement, "that a lot of videos have been posted online from some pretty amazing drummers who want to try out for Avenged Sevenfold.
"While we appreciate the overwhelming interest and support we thought it would be the right thing to do to let everyone know that we already have someone. In fact, we have been working with this person for over a year now to make sure that it was a correct fit before making any sudden changes. When we have more to share we will be sure to do that."
As for the identity of the drummer in question - that's still anyone's guess.
