SOUL EMBRACED: Lineup Changes Announced - Oct. 14, 2008
Former EVANESCENCE drummer and current LIVING SACRIFICE guitarist William "Rocky" Gray has announced the end of his tenure as the axeman from the Little Rock, Arkansas-based band SOUL EMBRACED.
Commented Gray: "I want to dedicate my guitar playing to LIVING SACRIFICE and make our new record the best record we've ever done. To do that I need to focus on LS and LS alone as far as my guitar playing goes.
"I wanted to end my guitar playing for SE on a high note, like a boxer retiring as a champion and I believe I'm doing just that because to me 'Immune' and 'Dead Alive' are highlights in this area of my career and I'm very proud of everything we accomplished.
"Lance Garvin will be dedicating all of his efforts to LIVING SACRIFICE as well so in his place I will be playing drums for SOUL EMBRACED so Chad, Devin and Jeff can continue on and start working on a new record.
"SOUL EMBRACED is NOT breaking up, just changing. It may be the final chapter for Lance and I in one way, but in another way it is the first page of a brand new book. I'm excited to see what happens."
SOUL EMBRACED's first studio album since 2003, "Dead Alive", was release on April 29, 2008 through Solid State Records. The CD was produced by Barry Poynter (LIVING SACRIFICE, ZAO) and was mixed by HATE ETERNAL/former MORBID ANGEL guitarist Erik Rutan (CANNIBAL CORPSE, SIX FEET UNDER, THROUGH THE EYES OF THE DEAD).
The band released an EP (1999's "The Fleshless" EP), and three albums (2000's "For The Incomplete", 2002's "This Is My Blood", and 2003's "Immune") over a five-year span. SOUL EMBRACED's debut album, "For the Incomplete", was re-released in 2003 by the independent label Blood and Ink Records.
