After eight years back behind the kit, drummer Dave McClain has officially exited Sacred Reich. McClain first joined the band in 1991, departed in 1995, and returned in 2018, remaining with the group until now.

No permanent replacement has been announced, however Eduardo Baldo will cover drums while the band supports Hatebreed for the upcoming show in Europe this November.

Sacred Reich shared the following statement:

Dave McClain is no longer a memeber of Sacred Reich. We wish him the best. 

Our friend Eduardo Baldo will be playing the Hatebreed shows with us in November In Europe. We thank him for jumping in on such short notice.

We are excited for this new chapter in Sacred Reich history. We are finishing up our new record “Into the Abyss” that will be released in the Spring of 2026 on Metal Blade Records.

Great things are coming.

We can’t wait to share it with you.

With love and gratitude, 

Wiley, Joey and Phi
