Exciter Guitarist Leaves The Band
Canadian speed metal stalwarts Exciter, whose original lineup reunited in 2015, has announced that guitarist John Ricci has left the band for the second time. A statement from bassist Allan James Johnson reads as follows:
"Some rather heavy news in the Exciter camp. Due to certain professional and personal differences, John Ricci has decided to leave the band. I wish to inform the fans worldwide that Dan Beehler and I are going to forge on with our song writing and recording however live shows will be postponed until such a time that we can find a suitable guitarist. As I am the sole administrator of the Exciter Original Facebook page I will continue to post from time to time to keep up the legacy of what we have accomplished over the last four and a half years but I will no doubt create a whole new Facebook page for the next incarnation of Exciter. In the meantime, all the best of luck and health to John."
