Rumpelstiltskin Grinder Part With Vocalist

Philadelphia, PA thrashers RUMPELSTILTSKIN GRINDER have parted ways with vocalist Eli Shaika. "Shawn [Riley, bass] and Matt [Moore, guitar] are doing vocals, and we're not playing shows for a couple months to write new material," the band writes in a statement. "Simple enough. But what to expect when we come back... Who knows? Perhaps a song about a giant squid who lives in the sewers of a major city and rules the underground? Maybe a feel good rocker about a short but meaningful friendship with... a GHOUL?? Maybe we'll even see a giant inflatable skull on stage during 'Nothing Defeats the Skull'. One thing remains for sure though... are we still going to thrash? Yes. Are we fucking around? Of course not."

RUMPELSTILTSKIN GRINDER's Relapse Records debut, "Buried in the Front Yard", came out in October 2005.
