SCARVE Drummer Says Vocalist's Departure Will Mark Band's 'Rebirth'

June 6, 2007

Drummer Dirk Verbeuren of the French metal band SCARVE has issued a statement reassuring fans that the group will not split up following the recent departure of vocalist Pierrick Valence.

As previously reported, Valence left SCARVE to focus on his other band PHAZM.

In an interview with Hard Rock magazine published this past winter, Pierrick indicated that PHAZM became his priority when SCARVE faced various obstacles over the course of the past couple of years, including other vocalist Guillaume Bideau's departure for MNEMIC and drummer Dirk Verbeuren's commitment to SOILWORK.

Commented Verbeuren: "In regards to the recent news about Pierrick's departure, I'd like to reassure our fans: SCARVE is still alive and a stronger creative force than ever! We will actively pursue promoting 'The Undercurrent', and our upcoming shows at France's Hellfest and Belgium's Graspop festivals are maintained. A new vocalist will be announced soon. This is a rebirth for SCARVE!!!"

SCARVE will reportedly recruit only one singer to replace both Valence and Bideau (as former DARKANE singer Lawrence Mackrory did on the song "Rebirth", on SCARVE's latest CD, "The Undercurrent").

Released in April through Listenable Records, "The Undercurrent" was recorded in part at the Dug-Out facility in Uppsala, Sweden with renowned Swedish producer Daniel Bergstrand, whose previous credits include MESHUGGAH, IN FLAMES, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD and STUCK MOJO.
