June 19, 2008, 16 years ago
Montreal's DESPISED ICON have issued the following update regarding the recent departure of bassist Sebastien Piché:
"We’re all sad to see Sebastien go. He’s been with us since the very start, dedicating over six years of his life to this band. With his first child on the way, a new house and a real full time job, Seb decided he could no longer sustain the touring lifestyle. We’re all proud of everything he’s accomplished and thankful for his contribution to Despised Icon. Merci pour tout man!Stepping in on bass is our friend Max Lavelle from GORATORY. Our guitarist Al and him have known each other for over ten years and have shared quite a few bands together. After filling in for Seb on the last four tours, Max proved to be the ideal guy for the job. He’s got it all, from mad bass skills to big muscles. Welcome on board Max!"
As previously reported, Despised Icon will release The Ills Of Modern Man deluxe edition On June 24th via Century Media Records, which features a bonus DVD composed of a live set from a monumental hometown performance, interviews and behind the scenes footage.
