SECRETS reageert op vertrek zanger

Gisteren maakte Xander Bourgeois, zanger van SECRETS, bekend dat hij niet langer deel uitmaakt van de band. Dit heeft hij besloten omdat hij niet langer in de verleiding van drank en drugs wilde komen. Hij is volkomen afhankelijk geworden van drank en zijn medicijnen, waaronder Xanax. Nu wil hij zijn leven beteren en hij heeft hiervoor de tijd nodig. De overige bandleden van SECRETS hebben laten weten dat zij Xander zullen missen. Ook vertellen zij dat ze klaar zijn met het nieuwe album. Hieronder kun je een statement lezen.

As you have probably heard by now, xander will no longer be in secrets but will always be a brother to us. We are really excited to see him take the time to clean himself up and can’t wait to see what his new musical endeavors churn out. To clear up a few things, we ended the Silverstein tour and had about a week off and went directly into finishing writing the new album and recording and in a few weeks will begin working on everything for warped. After warped we will be touring non stop the rest of the year. It would have been nearly impossible for xander to continue with the band and truly work on getting clean at the same time. We’re sure the decision to pursue his sobriety over the band was extremely difficult but were very proud of him for making it.

As far as the new album, well…it’s done! We will be announcing our new screamer and putting out a studio update in the next week and who knows, maybe even some new song clips! New album has a fair amount more singing than on the ascent and ALSO has the heaviest songs we’ve ever written. Were extremely proud of it and cannot wait to release it this summer!
