WRETCH Part Ways With Vocalist Colin Watson
February 25, 2012, 12 years ago
Northeast Ohio-based metallers WRETCH have parted ways with longtime vocalist Colin Watson.
Guitarist Nick Giannakos has issued the following statement:
"I have been in this band with Colin on and off for 26 years. I am very sad to see this day come. He told us he does not want to be in a band full-time anymore. I will miss his vocals but most of all I will miss having him around on a regular basis. Not only have we been in a band together for that long, we have also been friends for just as long.We are going to continue finishing the new album. We are currently looking for a new vocalist with the same type of vocal ability who is good at writing lyrics. I am not sure if we will continue with the name WRETCH but we will definitely keep playing and writing the same type of power metal that we love to play."
