AMERICAN HEAD CHARGE Calls It Quits

August 11, 2009

Long-running hard-rock/industrial act AMERICAN HEAD CHARGE is hanging up its hat and disbanding. Citing singer Cameron Heacock's "inability to continue on a musical career path," the Minneapolis, Minnesota-based group is changing its name and beginning the audition process for a new vocalist.

The non-singing members of AMERICAN HEAD CHARGE, who have toured the globe extensively with such bands as SLIPKNOT, SLAYER, MUDVAYNE, and SYSTEM OF A DOWN, see this as an opportunity to finally get the ball rolling.

"This is not the kind of news I enjoy being the bearer of, but we've been ready and waiting for input from Cameron for almost two years; we've written and recorded two albums worth of material in that time," says co-founder and bassist Chad Hanks. "At this point, he no longer gives being in this band any sort of top priority, which is so sad seeing as how he has such an amazing and unique voice; I couldn't wait to hear it on these songs. However, we’re looking forward to some new blood; a young, hungry soul that doesn't sound like anyone else and is ready to work his ass off. We're more than eager to get back to the mines. This is what we do."
