Father Befouled Announces New Drummer
Father Befouled, whose drummer Anticrhistus recently took his own life, have issued the following update about recruiting a new drummer:
"In the wake of the tragedies of last week, we have added Chad Davis from Hour of 13 and SET (Former Demoncy, Profane Grace) to our ranks as our new drummer. Chad stepped up the plate and has already learned and recorded one of the new tracks for the NWN 7" to be released soon. We could not be happier with his inclusion in the band, and look to move forward, however never forgetting the importance of our former member.
"Yes, Decrepitaph's Elektrokutioner was originally lined up for the position, but dynamically Chad's style better fits our sound, and logistically it is an easier move, with us being in Georgia and CD in North Carolina. Elektrokutioner remains one of my personal best friends, so there is no love lost there. (Speaking of, our other band, Festered, has our new album out on Razorback Records TODAY, go buy that shizz).
"No shows lined up for now, but all in due time."

Father Befouled Drummer Commits Suicide
Guitarist Justin Stubbs of Father Befouled has issued the following statement about drummer Antichristus taking his own life:
"They say only Death is real, but when you are faced with it, it is always hard to comprehend. Last night I was informed that our drummer, Antichristus, had taken his own life. It is hard to put into words what this means, but I am shocked. AC (we are not revealing his real name - his wishes) was enigmatic and mysterious to all those who knew him, but at the same time he was an amazing friend and one of the most dedicated individuals I, and the rest of the band had ever known.
"His final recorded output with Father Befouled was to be the upcoming 'Rotting Godless Thrones' 7" for Nuclear War Now! Productions. Unfortunately all we have are rough drum rehearsals of the songs, and I am not sure if we can use any of them for the release. I will have to see what can be made usable and make the decision.
"His drumming will also be heard on our 'Profane Grace of the Trinity' split 7" with Cemetery Urn on Relapse Records, due out in January. We recorded this track over a year ago, and it was actually his first efforts for the band. AC was also the drummer for our brothers Prosanctus Inferi. Luckily they recorded their LP for Hell's Headbangers back in August. Not sure of the release, but it will certainly be out soonish. IT will be his finest effort in memorium. More...
