Bleed the Sky Comment on Album and Tour
Bleed the Sky have taken some time to post a comment on their touring, album, and best way to be reached. The comment is as follows:
"Thanks to all the people that have been picking up the album since it came out...We really appreciate the support and we've been busy as hell. We had a blast at the album release party [at the Whisky in Hollywood on April 8th] and want to thank all the bands that played, all the fans and friends that came out to see us, and all the people at the Whisky for making it possible. We'll have some pictures up soon from the shows in Lake Havasu and Mexicali, Mexico - you guys were maniacs! The best way for people to reach us is through our MySpace site here. Stop by and check us out!"
Bleed the Sky will be playing the Lithium Clothing Grand Opening at the Club House in Tempe, Arizona on June 25 with Vehemence.
Bleed The Sky Replace Bassist
Bassist Casey Kulek recently left Bleed The Sky (Nuclear Blast Records) for personal reasons. According to the group, "It was a mutual agreement, and we wish him the best of luck in his music and in all other parts of his life." The band has since lined up a replacement in Daylen Elsey, of Lawrence, Kansas.
Bleed The Sky Parts Ways With Bassist
Orange County, California-based sextet Bleed the Sky have parted ways with bassist Casey Kulek due to "personal reasons." "It was a mutual agreement, and we wish him the best of luck in his music and in all other parts of his life," the band write on their web site.
"All of the upcoming shows are still on, we've already begun work with our new bass player, Daylen Elsey, whom we would like to welcome to the Bleed the Sky family," the band's statement continues. "He has flown out from Lawrence, Kansas at the last minute to keep us on schedule with shows and everything else we have coming up."
In other news, Bleed the Sky will begin shooting their first music video this month with director Joe Lynch, who has previously worked with such bands as 311, Devildriver, Coal Chamber and Kataklysm. The video will be included on the group's upcoming debut album, due on April 26 via Nuclear Blast Records.
Formed in early 2003, Bleed the Sky, whose average age is 22, are said to specialize in "mixing groovy metal riffs with distinctive melodies and profound lyrics." The band have previously shared the stage with such acts as Murderdolls, My Ruin, Skinlab and Deicide.
More Info On Damageplan Nightclub Shooting
Scoop of the Columbus, Ohio radio station The Blitz 99.7 FM has confirmed to Blabbermouth.net that Damageplan drummer Vinnie Paul was uninjured in the shooting incident at a Columbus nightclub which resulted in the death of Paul's brother, Dimebag Darrell. According to Scoop, who attended the concert and briefly saw Vinnie following the incident, Paul was in a complete state of shock and expressed his desire to be with his brother right after the shooting occurred.
A friend of Scoop's, Kevin Minerd, who also attended the concert, told Blabbermouth.net that the gunman entered the stage from the left side and walked over to the right side where Dimebag was standing before grabbing the guitarist and pumping several bullets into him. Additional shots were fired, although it's presently unclear which other member of Damageplan, if any, was killed in the incident.
"A Columbus police officer, when he arrived, engaged the shooter, and the shooter is also dead, and if the officer hadn't acted when he did and how he did, we'd probably be looking at more dead, because this guy was actively shooting," Sergeant Brent Mull, public information officer, told MTV News.
"We have 200-plus patrons that we have sequestered inside three city buses," Sergeant Mull explained. "We are interviewing them one by one. The ones that were inside and witnessed this, ran for their lives and were in fear for their lives. They are victims too, and we want to take care of them."
As news of Dimebag's (born Darrell Lance Abbott in Dallas, Texas on August 20, 1966) bizarre and tragic demise rippled through the metal community, the news was met with shock and sadness.
"I'm speechless," friend and Rob Zombie/Ozzy Osbourne bassist Rob "Blasko" Nicholson told MTV. "This is totally unreal. Dimebag is a fucking legend and this is total bullshit."
"This is insane and this is beyond travesty," Killswitch Engage frontman, and former Damageplan tour partner, Howard Jones said. "This is beyond anything I've ever heard. This shouldn't happen in or outside of the rock and metal community. He will be missed and mourned as a person, as a musician, and as a friend."
Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian, whose band has toured with Pantera and has featured Dimebag guest appearances on their albums, stated in a posting on Anthrax's web site, "I am devastated as I'm sure we all are. All I can convey at this moment are my condolences to Rita and Vinnie and the whole family. My heart is with you."
Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx offered the following: "Dime, I will never forget all the times you made us laugh. I'm so happy we got to spend the day together in London recently… We should all live our lives as full as you have. I will miss you, as will all of us... This is a sad day."
Rich Ward (Fozzy, Stuck Mojo): "Darrell was as nice as they come. During the times that I spent with him, I wondered why he played in such a heavy band. Not that he didn't have the ability to school all of us that dared to share a stage with him, but because he seemed like such a gentle and kind man. He had a great sense of humor and was someone that everyone in the room gravitated toward. He never carried himself like the big rock star that he really was, instead he came across humble and appreciative. I consider it a privilege to have known him, as he was one of the 'real' guys in the business and as Zakk [Wylde] would say, 'one of the boys'!"
Shaun Glass (Soil): "Today I am saddened to say I lost my friend and hero it sickens me that someone would take away a person that brought so much joy to so many people. Love ya, Double D."
Jon Dette (ex-Slayer, Testament): "My brother just called to tell me that Dimebag Darrell was shot and killed on stage tonight. Words cannot express the sadness I'm feeling right now and my condolences go out to Vinnie Paul and the Abbott family for their loss. This is a huge tragedy for the music world."
Orange County, California-based sextet Bleed The Sky (recently signed to Nuclear Blast Records): "It's a sad day in heavy metal, Dimebag Darrell formerly of Pantera, was shot and killed while performing with Damageplan in Ohio. We would more than likely not be a band if it wasn't for him, and can't possibly imagine the pain that his brother and his family must be in. RIP, brother, heavy music will never be the same without you."
