Slice The Cake Faces An Uncertain Future After Departure Of Gareth Mason

Progressive metal band Slice The Cake is unfortunately down a member, as Gareth Mason just issued this statement via Facebook:

"For reasons far too numerous and personal to list here, 'Odyssey to the West' will be my last album with Slice The Cake. We have one more show lined up that will be announced shortly and what happens after that, and whether STC continues to be a thing at all will be totally at the behest of Jack and Jonas, and totally for them to work out. Release date is coming soon. It's been real, thank you."

Jack Magero adds: "Whether or not it continues as STC, I have a metric fuckload of material still lying around from the post OTTW writing phase, so at the very least, I'll still be pushing on. It's unfortunate that things unfolded how they did but the only thing that matters is getting the music recorded and out into the world, which is still my goal, so keep those spirits up everyone.

"Furthermore, I don't blame anyone who may not be interested in Gareth-less future projects. I don't listen to post-Howard Jones Killswitch Engage, soooo... yeah, I totally understand. Regardless of anything else, I wish the best of luck for whatever tomorrow brings to all"
