Impaled Existence Splits With Bassist Sam Walker

U.K. act Impaled Existence has posted the following message online about parting ways with bassist Sam Walker:

"As sad as it is, IMEX and Sam Walker are parting ways. We would just like to say a MASSIVE thank you to Sam for all the hard work, hard drinking and hard bantering he has put in over the last 4 years, he will be greatly missed as part of this band and this decision in no way affects our friendship with Sam, who is, and always will be a brother. Sam, best of luck in the future buddy and we will catch up with you soon."

Sam also commented: "Hey guys, this may be a shock to you all but I have decided to part ways with Impaled. It has come to the time in my life where I feel that I need to move on and try new things.

"I've spent the best 4 years of my life with these guys, traveled the whole of the UK, played Download and also Bloodstock. I've learnt so much from them. I would like thank EVERYONE who has helped me and the band along over this time, the support from you guys has been unreal.

"Thanks again!"
