LENG TCH'E - Vocalist Steps Down; Announce Replacement
May 14, 2008, 16 years ago
Death metal / grindcore stalwarts LENG TCH'E have issued the following update from departed vocalist Boris Cornelissen:
"After four of the coolest and craziest years of my life, I've decided to quit my activities in Leng Tch'e. A difficult decision, considering the fact that I really loved the shows/touring and hanging out with these guys. However, I came to a point in my life where other things start to matter. I don't have the energy and commitment anymore that I used to have, so the time has come to part ways with Leng Tch'e. For me it feels like ending a long term relationship and I think it will feel really strange knowing they will go on without me. Nevertheless, I know this is a well considered decision and wish them all the best in the future. Leng Tch'e has made me who I am today. Thanks for that!"The band responded: "We'd like to thank Boris for all the good times, fun tours and great albums we've recorded together. It will definitely feel weird not having his bald ass around, but the show must go on! Serge blew us away right from the start and we are sure that he will take the band to new heights. We can't wait to share the stage with this madman and release our new music to the masses. Be sure to come out and catch this lineup live in action at the end of this month."
On the heels of Boris' departure, Leng Tch'e has announced that former ACKROS singer Serge Kasongo has taken over vocal duties. None the band's upcoming shows will be cancelled and the recordings of the split CD with FUCK THE FACTS will also go ahead as planned.
As previously reported, the band are planning a tour of Canada for November. More details on this as it becomes available.
