Olivier Pinard, bassist van de Amerikaanse deathgrind band Cattle Decapitation, heeft bekendgemaakt dat hij stopt bij de band om zich te richten op zijn andere band Cryptopsy. Diego Soria van Broken Hope zal hem vervangen tijdens hun Europese tour.
Over zijn vertrekt zegt Olivier het volgende:
Today I’m announcing my departure from Cattle Decapitation.
I’ve been extremely lucky and fortunate to be in 2 major touring bands at the same time. But now it’s time to go home and focus on Cryptopsy and my personal life.
I’m grateful for the 7 years I did with Cattle Decap and everything we accomplished together (Death Atlas, Terrasite and countless world tours). I keep nothing but good memories from that era of my life.
I would like to thanks Travis, Josh, Dave and Bel for their friendship over the years!
Also, thank you to all the fans across the world, one of the most dedicated and passionate fanbase in the extreme metal scene
That being said, I will take the next few months off to catch my breath & re-energize before coming back on stage later this year.
See you down the road
Oli
De band heeft later ook een statement uitgebracht en dat luidt als volgt:
Its a somber day in the Cattle camp as we must announce the departure of our bass player and buddy, Olivier Pinard. Oli has decided his focus must shift back to his home band Cryptopsy and his personal life. Being in two touring bands is very demanding on a human and while we are sad to see him go, we more than understand. We wish Oli the best of luck and be sure to check out the new song they just dropped and pick up their new album when it comes out!
Filling in for the upcoming EU tour will be our friend Diego Soria of Broken Hope. You may have seen him on the Chaos And Carnage tour and multiple other tours and shows over the years when he’s stepped up and filled in for us.
