Earlier this weekend we reported that after more then 10 years The Chariot calling it quits. Now there is sad news from the Grave Robber camp, read more in the message below:
THANK YOU.
To all the friends, family, and fans we’ve made over the years. To everyone who appreciates our music. To everyone who supported us by booking shows. To everyone who supported us by coming to shows. To everyone who supported us financially by buying our cds and shirts. To everyone who supported us by praying for us. To everyone who supported us by feeding us. To everyone who supported us by housing us. To everyone who supported us by encouraging us.
Thanks to: Dan Kinnaley (ex-guitar), Lance Davis (ex-bass), Morrison Agen (ex-bass), Chuck Thomas (ex-drums), Mark Mettert (ex-bass/drums), Dave Oliver (ex-drums), Christian Morris (ex-drums), Grant Butler (ex-guitar), Zach Hull (ex-drummer), and all the fill in drummers and guitarists since 2005.
Thanks to my brothers, Mike Walter (Lamentor) and Craig Weitz (Carcass). It’s been a long crazy ride.
However, the decision has been made at 2:00 P.M., August 17th for Grave Robber to end. We are considering this indefinite hiatus.
Honestly, we’d love to play with a solid line up, but no one has the time, energy, or desire to keep rebuilding something that keeps getting tore apart.
Bottom line? No drummer = no band. We refuse to continue without being a top notch act. We refuse to not bring our fans the very best we can deliver every time. We owe you all at least that. If we can’t be the best we are able to be, we will cease to be as a musical entity.
Consider us done immediately. Also, consider that we may return. All the good horror characters do. . .
Be afraid, be very afraid!!!!!!!!!!!!
