David Kinkade
David Kinkade was born in New Jersey on August 25, 1983. He began playing drums at the age of three and started touring professionally in 2003. He is noted for having once worked with one of the founding death metal bands Malevolent Creation. He has also played for other bands such as Council of the Fallen, Divine Empire, D.O.T.A.C., and Insatanity. In October 2008, Norwegian band Borknagar announced David Kinkade had replaced Asgeir Mickelson as drummer. Kinkade's first appearance with Borknagar will be on the next Borknagar studio album, Universal, which is due for release in 2010.
Around the same time, Kinkade also started drumming with Arsis. David eventually parted with Arsis due to their "lack of effort" and has now re-located to Europe to focus on Borknagar and his other projects.
