On other news, BENIGHTED is sorry to announce that bassist Eric “Candy” Lombard just left the fold. Eric recorded his bass parts on ‘Carnivore Sublime’, but due to BENIGHTED’s heavy schedule in the upcoming months, he had to call it quits. The band’s new bass player is Alexis Lieu. On a happier note, drummer Kevin Foley was busy touring Europe with Polish death metal act DECAPITATED, which forced him to sit out of the filming of the “Experience Your Flesh” video and the shooting of the band’s new promo pictures, but he is now back for good!

“We are sad to announce that our brother Eric will no longer play bass in the band due to his new family responsibilities which keep him busy”, the band comments. “We wish him the best for the future and thank him a lot for all these years together! We’re looking forward to see you on tour with our new official line up and can’t wait to play tracks from ‘Carnivore Sublime’ live! Thank you all for your amazing support!”
