AUGURY BASSIST DANIEL FOREST LAPOINTE LEAVES BAND

Montreal, Canada extreme metal band AUGURY have announced that DANIEL FOREST LAPOINTE has left the band, arguably one of if not the best bassists in extreme metal.
FROM AUGURY and BLABBERMOUTH.NET:: "After eight years of collaboration, we are sad to announce that we had to part ways with our bass player Dominic 'Forest' Lapointe. We keep in mind his outstanding musical input and volcanic stage presence, and thank him for helping to shape the sound of AUGURY. But the show must go on and we are actually starting The American Defloration tour with THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, OBSCURA and HATESPHERE, with a very special rhythm section featuring Quebec City jazz player Christian Pacaud (MAG project) on bass, and our longtime friend Tommy McKinnon (formerly of NEURAXIS) behind the drum kit. With such great personnel on board, we are eager to give American ears a good scrub once again!"

Drummer Antoine Baril announced his departure from AUGURY last November. He stated at the time, "Some personal and professional reasons made multiple touring impossible for me at the moment." He added, "I wish all the best for AUGURY because those wonderful guys are making incredibly good music. I will never forget those memorable shows and I would like to thank everyone for their support on the road everywhere we've been on tour."
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
