Current Dio guitarist Craig Goldy has announced that effective immediately, he will be joining melodic hard rock band Hydrogyn. Craig Goldy states "While Ronnie is touring and recording with Heaven and Hell I am proud to announce my journey with Hydrogyn. I am looking forward to writing, recording and touring with them during the all too often well known "hiatus" of the band Dio.

It's quickly become much more than a one-off situation with Hydrogyn. During the negotiation process involved in our mutual desire to work together, we forged a strong bond that I believe will continue well into the future in all aspects of an endeavor such as this one has become.

Upon Ronnie's return I will be anxiously awaiting the writing, recording and touring that will follow and highly anticipating an awesome CD release along side my family Ronnie, Rudy, Simon and Scott. Until then I will be operating at my fullest potential with Hydrogyn with whom I've also been honored to form a long-term friendship with and build an alliance with DA Records and my program Destiny Bridge. It is my sincere hope and desire to continue in this capacity long into the future.

Hydrogyn founding guitarist Jeff Westlake states: "guitarist Jeff Boggs's departure is due to family commitments and we totally appreciate and understand it. Craig coming into the band is awesome and I look forward to what is ahead both professionally and personally with Craig. I have had time to get to know him and we click very well. This next CD should be off the hook.

The band is currently in writing sessions in both the East and West Coast for Hydrogyn's new upcoming 3rd studio cd, the follow-up to the bands incendiary Bombshell CD.

Hydrogyn will support the release of their new studio CD with major touring worldwide.

This band is damn good. I met them a few years ago up my way while they were touring. In fact, I started yapping with them on myspace first and they turned out to be cool in real life too. It's a good band for Goldy definitely. I think Michael Wagener was producing them and he's been pumped about making them a household name for a long time so the personnel change seems like it was inevitable. I'm interested to see where it leads.

 Yeah, I agree. I've known Jeff (Hydrogyn) for about 10 years. We've become pretty good friends over the years, Julie and Boggs are great folks too! Their first CD was pretty damn, good, though, NOT the quality of Bombshell, as Wagener did it. I worked with them a bit on it, doing a 'Remaster' for it's 're-release'. I'll try and dig up a copy for U. I don't think Jeff would mind, since it's currently out of print.

Anyway, talking with Jeff, and both of us being fans of Craig, I sort of suggested they might work together, etc...actually Jeff and I have talked about it for awhile...and I got Jeff to send Craig a copy of BombShell when it was released, etc....


Long story short, I had recently taken over Craig administrative duties for his Forum, and website, etc. and us three have been talking....Jeff and Craig have just hit it off big time....so one thing, led to another...I'm very glad for both of them...

Craig will be flying in next month for a Clinic, and they plan on hanging out, for a couple of weeks (at least) doing some writing, etc. I hope to go up, and see the clinic, PLUS, Craig probably will sit in for a jam that evening....looking forward to that.....

According to Jeff, *I'm* the reason for all of this...BUT, they would probably have gotten together without me....but I do appreciate the 'kudos' from him!aww

As U know...since you've seen them...they kick ass live...they really deliver!

I'll 'take' that...but I'd rather get a 'share' of the profits!  wink
