As of today, I am no longer an active member of Bane of Existence.

I've stepped down as their vocalist due to personal and health related issues. It's been an entertaining 5 years with the band and can't wait to hear/see them in their next incarnation. The split was completely amicable and my reasons were instantly understood and respected.

The June 3rd show at O'Brien's in Allston will be my last appearance with the band--then I am done. I will continue to do their website, though, and help them in the future with whatever I can. That's it.

i have only seen BOE about 3 times and it was always a good performance. hopefully it will stay that way. it's always good when people part on good terms. good luck to all.

What?! Do they have a new a singer yet? Fuuuuuuuuuuuck.

"lalala" - babe

whoah
well good luck D

damn, that sucks.

greg has also left the band on guitar, both Greg and Doug will be missed greatly!

i personally will miss both of them as they are great people, preformers and friends. filling their shoes is not going to be an easy task at all.

greg left too? damn

yep somedays you wake up to your world falling apart around you

yea he let us know the other day that he was leaving the band.

sweet! i wasn't aware you recorded altho i do sorta remember greg mentioning it i didn't nkow you actually did, how'd it come out?

SUBJUGATE said:

Well, he should stick around till the june 3rd show.

Live set- It sounds ok. Its a mono recording with a sm-57 into a mini disk recorder. I just dumped it into Prostools last night, i will throw some comp and limiter on it , to bring up the volume. No effects(eq or verb-none). Just basically dry, like how the crowd heard it that night.
**If your intrested i will be recording us and teratism @ "stabfest"( i hate that name) i can record you guys also.Let me know Jim dog.

handinjury should go all out and mic everything.
