After As I Lay Dying's drummer Jordan Mancino left the band for their upcoming tour, the group has finally found someone who will sit behind the drum kit to accompany them throughout their future shows.
According to Blabbermouth, the band will be emarking on their "Two Decades of Destruction" tour starting tonight (June 10) in Las Vegas, Nevada.
To accompany the band, special guests include Whitechapel, Brand of Sacrifice, OV Sulfur and Shadow of Intent.
Their last show will be in Oklahoma on July 17.
Since Mancino's exit, the rock band has finally found a replacement as they announced it on social media earlier today.
The band revealed that Nick Pierce, formerly known as the drummer of Unearth, will be playing with them throughout the tour.
"We've toured with Nick many times over the years so we're stoked to have not only a long time friend out with us, but a phenomenal musician. The level of precision and power in Nick Pierce's playing has taken our songs to a whole new level," they wrote.
It was a difficult task for Pierce as he had to learn playing 20 songs in a short amount of time. Lucky for the band, his first rehearsal went well as they revealed that their set was "flawless."

The latest announcement comes a day after longtime drummer Mancino shocked fans upon announcing that he would sit out from the band's tour.
The reason behind is exit was a "number of ongoing internal issues" that haven't been resolved yet and needed to be worked out.
"It is with a heavy heart that I announce I will not be performing on any upcoming tour dates until further notice. Thanks to all of you for your understanding," he wrote.
Although he mentioned that he will not go on tour "until further notice," Mancino did not clarify if he will be leaving the band for good or not.
The drummer was not the only person detaching to as longtime bassist and singer Josh Gilbert also revealed last month that he would be leaving the band.
Gilbert withdrew from his position to pursue "other musical opportunities." He was replaced by Miss May I's Ryan Neff. On the other hand, Ken Susi of Unearth will take over the second guitar.
Nick Hipa also quit the band last August, saying he could no longer jusify being a part of a "superficial pursuit."
