"Axeman Ben Hellion has decided that 12 years as a member of Nocturnal Breed is enough.
After the band recently met up for the first time in almost 4 years he decided to call it quits because of 'lack of inspiration and feeling,' but stresses that he is proud of having been a part of Nocturnal Breed for so many years.
