Indian metal veterans DEMONIC RESURRECTION have parted ways with their long time lead guitarist Daniel Kenneth Rego.

An official statement from Daniel Rego reads: “To everyone who's listened to and supported Demonic Resurrection over all these years, thank you. My decision to part ways with the band is based on a simple fact - I no longer feel the same passion and connection with this style of music, in general. Demonic Resurrection is at a stage where it requires a 100% from everyone involved in order to move forward, and speaking as an individual musician, I feel I am no more in the musical and aesthetic space to fully give to the band what it deserves. I hope I will continue to receive your support in my endeavours in other musical idioms, a few of which will be formally announced in the near future. Until then, to quote a famous musician, ‘Cheers and stay Demonic!’”

The band has announced a farewell show for the guitarist on January 19th at the Blue Frog club in Mumbai.

The band previously announced their first date for their 2014 UK/Europe Tour. They will be making an appearance at Scotland's award winning festival Les-Fest. The third edition of this festival will see the band perform on the main stage on Friday, June 27th. Other acts confirmed for Les-Fest include SCARED MOTHER TONGUE, CYPHER16, REVOKER and FALLING RED.

Said festival director, Dave Ritchie “Having a band with the International stature of Metal Hammer Golden Gods, Demonic Resurrection, shows that Les-Fest has become a must do on the summer festival circuit. They should be a highlight of your weekend, I am personally stoked”.

Demonic Resurrection will be announcing more dates across UK/Europe for their 2014 tour. The band also recently released their performance footage from Bloodstock Festival 2012 in it's entirety. The video was completely funded by their fans and can be viewed below:
