our drummer is no longer a member of the band following our discovery of his involvement in acts of sexual violence.

we feel betrayed, devastated, and incredibly angry.
the actions we have learned about are in direct conflict with everything we stand for as individuals and as a band.
we actively stand against abuse and sexual violence, and we refuse to associate ourselves with anyone responsible for it.

we want to express our support for the people who have been harmed by his actions.
we do not tolerate sexual violence or abuse in any form.

we understand that this statement does not undo the harm that has been caused, but we hope it is a meaningful step in taking responsibility for our part going forward.

we have been in contact with the people affected and will continue to respect their wishes regarding how we move forward.
we encourage our drummer to seek the professional help needed to take responsibility for his actions and work toward meaningful change.

we will be taking some time to regroup before continuing with a new drummer.
