Eyes Of The Dead Parting With Guitar Player Rob "Hobbit" Moore

Connecticut-based group Eyes Of The Dead just issued the following statement about parting ways with the band's guitarist after one final show at the end of April:

"If you hadn't already heard, our guitarist Rob 'Hobbit' Moore is expecting another child this summer, and with that comes all the family responsibilities that need to take top priority in life. With that Hobbit has made the difficult decision to step down as our guitarist in order to put all his focus into his growing family.

"It's been a year since Hobbit first came back into EOTD, and we couldn't be more grateful for the time and work he has put in with us, and thank him for that. It will be sad to have him leave our ranks, but everyone understands that it's what's best for him in his life right now, and wish him the best for everything he has coming.

"Keep an eye out for some more news on who he will be passing the torch to as our new guitarist, that will all be announced soon enough. In the mean time, follow the link here to Nasty Fest at Cherry St in Wallingford on the 29th. This will not only be Hermon VonRolls last show with Nasty Disaster, but also Hobbits very last show with Eyes of the Dead. It's truly a night you will not want to miss out on!"
