VEHEMENCE Call It Quits

October 15, 2005

Arizona-based death metallers VEHEMENCE have issued the following statement:

"Eight years after it all started, we decided that now is the time to throw in the towel. It was fun, and we would like to thank all the people who have supported us along the way. VEHEMENCE was and is a huge part of our lives, but at this point its time to start fresh. The death of VEHEMENCE has since spawned three new bands from its ex-members. ABIGAIL WILLIAMS (info),featuring Mark [Kozuback, bass], Andy [Schroeder, drums] and BjornDannov, guitar] of VEHEMENCE, HE WHO BINDS HIMSELF (info) featuring Nathan [Gearhart, vocals], and as John [Chavez, guitar] stated, 'I'm looking for members for a new band and I am also available for touring. Currently I'm also affiliated with several other side projects which I will release soon.'

"We still have a batch of new shirts coming this year, as well as a new remixed version of our first self-released disc, entitled 'The Thoughts From Which I Hide', that will be available exclusively at www.vehemence.com. VEHEMENCE may do shows every now and then, but will not be a full-time band. Just keep checking our website as that will still be up and running."

VEHEMENCE's third studio album, "Helping the World to See", is available now through Metal Blade Records. The follow-up to 2002's "God Was Created" was produced by Will Solares and VEHEMENCE at Open Primary Productions/DBD Studios in Maricopa, Arizona. Mixing duties were handled by Will Solares. Artwork was conceived by Wes Benscoter.
