TOXOCARA Parts Ways With Singer, Announces Replacement

January 22, 2009

Vocalist Kevin Quilligan has left TOXOCARA, the Dutch death metal band featuring members of PROSTITUTE DISFIGUREMENT and THE MONOLITH DEATHCULT. He will play his final gig with the band on January 30 in Niederkruchten, Germany. His replacement is Niels Feekes (VICTIMIZER). The group says, "[Niels] will reinforce our troops and will be heard on the next full-length album that we are working on at this moment."

Commented Kevin: "My decision to leave TOXOCARA is based on a couple of reasons. One of them being a lot of stress in my personal life. This has nothing to do with any of the other members in TOXOCARA whatsoever, both on a personal or band-related level. I'm going to take it easy for a few months, try to graduate and get things back in order. I'd like to thank everyone for their support, the Toxocrew and especially Martijn, Michiel, Vince, Sanne and Anne for being a killer band and amazing people. These four years have been a hell of a ride! I can assure you I will be back soon with other bands and/or projects, as will TOXOCARA (and it's gonna be heavy!),so keep in touch with both!"

TOXOCARA's second full-length album, "The Great Rebellious", was released in Janaury 2008 via Twilight-Vertrieb Records.
