Drowningman Has Disbanded, with some members forming a new band

Those of you who were at Monsterfest this past weekend and were surprised to find that event organizer Simon Brody and his band Drowningman never made it to the stage now know why as Drowningman has broken up. Yesterday evening we were sent this statement from Andrew of Drowningman. We delayed posting it in order to verify its authenticity (you wouldn't believe some of the stuff we get), which we have now done, so here goes:

Unfortunately, after almost 7 years we have decided to part ways with our vocalist Simon Brody. Our working relationship with Simon deteriorated greatly in the past few weeks and we decided with haste, but with great relief and assurance, that we have made the right decision to separate. Our two paths were quickly dividing and the motives not anywhere near the same in the sense of the goals of the band. We wish Simon only the best of luck in the future and may he find happiness in his future endeavors. The remaining four members will be forming a new band under a different name that has yet to be decided on. Currently we are working on new material and might release the new demo in the next few months. Anyone who is interested in trying out for vocals is encouraged to do so and should contact Davejoyaldm@aol.com. We might be posting a song on the web for anyone who would like to download it and add their vocals to send to us. We are looking for serious inquiries only and they must be ready to tour. The new material we are working on is centered more on aggressive singing and less on full on screaming. Drowningman would like to say thanks to anyone who has helped us in any way and to all the kids for coming out and supporting us. More info to come and please contact Andrew for any interviews at Sorrowsage6@aol.com

We promptly hit Andrew back to inquire about the status of the band's final full-length for Revelation Records, and here was his response:

"Well, right now we are talking to Rev about about releasing old demos with them and possibly doing a release with our new band in the future. But all of it is up in the air as of right now. In the next couple of weeks hopefully we will have worked out a deal with them. They have been very supportive towards us four staying together."
