Kataklysm have released a statement regarding the decision of their drummer Max Duhamel to step down from the outfit to address his issues with alcoholism. The group released the following collective statement regarding Duhamel and their future plans:
“We as a band of brothers stand by Max‘s decision to get better and to rise from his demons , we all have them, some of us try to hide them and pretend they dont exist , some of us have the courage to confront them, Max has shown strength to fight his, we stand by him and hope that he returns home when he is ready, in the meanwhile I want everyone to know for those who haven’t seen the Iron will documentary, that this bands story is one of drama, pain and the long road to victory..
We will practice what we preach on our albums, we will come out swinging hard and strong with this new album , we will find a suitable replacement and we will announce him in the next few weeks, we will not dissapoint any of you, we have read the messages of encouragements you have posted, we have the best fans.. and in these classic words ” the show must go on “…”
A new studio album from the band titled “Waiting For The End To Come” is in the works with a release late this year tentatively being eyed.
