EXCITER Issues Official Statement On The Departure Of Jacques Belanger
May 9, 2006, 17 years ago
EXCITER guitarist John Ricci recently confirmed that frontman Jacques Belanger had left the Canadian thrash legends again.
Osmose Productions has now issued the following official statement on behalf of the band in regards to Jacques' departure:
"To all Exciter fans and supporters,For the the 3rd time in 10 years, Jacques Belanger has quit Exciter. Due to "differences of opinion' on many issues between Jacques and the rest of the band, he felt he could no longer continue as vocalist for Exciter.
We are currently exploring our options but we have, regretably, had to cancel shows in Europe, the USA and Canada that we had scheduled or been working on for this summer.
The writing for the new CD is complete and we have 10 new songs to record, but we'll have to find the voice to sing on these ripping new tracks first.
Exciter would like to thank all the die-hard fans, throughout the globe, who have supported us for many years.
The Exciter legacy will continue!"
Exciter's last studio release was 2004's New Testament - Coven Of Re-Recorded Classics, which was released by Osmose Productions.
