THE FACELESS Drummer Calls It Quits
January 23, 2013, 11 years ago
THE FACELESS drummer Lyle Cooper has officially left called it quits. He has issued the following statement:
"After almost five years with the band, I've decided to part ways. Over the last couple of years it seemed that the interests, goals and musical approach of the band was not that of my own. Also, managerial issues became too frequent with no resolution. These issues, I felt, made it hard for me as an individual to produce as a creative and enthusiastic member.I'm sure that proceeding my departure, the band will have no trouble finding someone with the right mindset and talents to step in and keep the band moving forward.
Thank you to the fans and everyone who supported The Faceless throughout the years. I wish the band and its members nothing but continued success and make sure you catch them on their upcoming tours. I will still be pursuing my other musical projects so look out for new ABSVRDIST and ABHORRENT this year."
The Faceless are due to hit the road supporting CRADLE OF FILTH in February with DECAPITATED and THE AGONIST. The tour kicks off at the end of February in New York and runs until late March in Canada.
