May 14, 2007, 17 years ago
Victory Records metalcore titans BURY YOUR DEAD have posted the following update at their MySpace page:
"We realize that a lot of you are confused about what is going on with Bury Your Dead so we wanted to post a full statement to clear up any confusion.The following is a statement from Michael Crafter;
"Since I got to the USA I knew I had a lot of weight on my shoulders. I wanted to prove myself so much and be a good frontman for byd. It's been 2 months since I got to the USA and all I have wanted is to be home with my friends and this stops me from giving my all. I met a lot of great people here. My time with the band was short and was a lot of fun and a great experience. Eric, Bubble, Slim & Mark became my new mates and ill forever be great full I got given this chance. This tour has opened my eyes up to a lot of things and being in a band in another country isn't what I want to do. From practicing and playing shows with byd will always be a great memory and something I'm glad I gave a shot. But my home is Australia and home is where the heart is.Thanks again, Michael Crafter."
With all the recent hurdles Bury Your Dead has faced we are still forging ahead, Michael Crafter sacrificed a lot to come to the US and help out on this tour but unfortunately for him he had to go home with short notice. This does not stop or slow us down in any way, we are completing this tour with the vocal contribution of Myke Terry, formerly of the band CASSIUS.
We have not, and will not, cancel any shows on the remainder of this tour, these are trying times for Bury Your Dead but we make these changes to further improve the quality and longevity of this band.
Thank you everybody for your support, we will see you shortly."
