SFU and a little triumph for DoM

A while ago, Six Feet Under announced that bassist Terry Butler and drummer Greg Gall left the band and shortly after that, SFU announced that Kevin Talley, former drummer of Chimaira, among others, joined the band and that they’ve also been working with “a new writing partner” for 4 months already.

If you read the second news post I linked above, you’ll also notice that I speculated about the new writing partner and suggested Jim LaMarca and Rob Arnold of Chimaira. Well, guess what? It’s not 100% confirmed but Terry Butler said the following in an interview:

Six Feet Under is moving on and they’re gonna be a five-piece. I’ve heard through the grapevine that they’re working with [guitarist] Rob [Arnold] from Chimaira — he’s their new writing partner — and Kevin Talley [Daath, Misery Index, Chimaira] is gonna be playing drums.”

Watch the whole interview after the jump.

Call me Nostradamus, motherfuckers!

Chimaira bassist retires

Metal is for life, not just Christmas, but for Chimaira bassist, Jim LaMarca, it’s not even for Christmas anymore. Unfortunately, just before Christmas, LaMarca has chosen to retire from the band after more than ten years, and the band will be looking for a replacement.

The band wish him the best of luck and released the following statement:

“After a decade of good times and achievements, our friend and band mate Jim LaMarca has decided to retire from Chimaira. We wish him nothing but the best as he settles in and starts a family. As for seeking a replacement… we’ll cross that bridge down the line. In the meantime, consider it ‘business as usual’ with the Chimaira you know and love. Emil Werstler [DAATH guitarist] will be handling the bass duties for the rest of the year, and we’ll see you on the road!”
