Bassist/founding DEATH ANGEL member Dennis Pepa, who played his last show with the band on October 28th at the Grand Ballroom in San Francisco, CA, has issued the following statement with regards to his departure:
"I've been with Death Angel since its inception in the '80s and believe it is time for me to move on. Throughout my career with the band, I've brought a punk-influenced edge to the Death Angel sound, and as an open-minded musician in need of change, I'd like to diversify and explore other opportunities within and beyond the genre of metal. The Death Angel guys are my family, both literally and figuratively speaking, and I wish them luck on their future endeavors. Many thanks go out to Nuclear Blast Records and the fans, who have extended their support and friendship — I look forward to being involved in new music projects and continuing to connect with all of you."Pictures from Pepa's last show are available here.
