Technical thrash metallers POWERMAD have secured the percussion talents of Dirk Verbeuren (SOILWORK) for their next full-length album. Dirk is now a permanent member of POWERMAD and is writing material for the CD with Joel DuBay (vocals, guitars), Todd Haug (guitars) and Jeff Litke (bass) in hopes of a late 2011 release.

POWERMAD‘s upcoming record will be the first in over 20 years, and according to DuBay, POWERMAD is aiming to “deliver on the expectations of cult-like fan base that [has] never left [the band’s] musical ‘side.'”
