Bei DESPISED ICON-Basser Sebastien Piche hat seinen Ausstieg bekanntgegeben, um mehr Zeit mit seiner Familie und seinem Job zu verbringen. mit Max Lavelle (GORATORY) ist aber bereits Ersatz gefunden worden. Die Band dazu:

"We’re all sad to see Sebastien go. He’s been with us since the very start, dedicating over 6 years of his life to this band. With his first child on the way, a new house and a real full time job, Seb decided he could no longer sustain the touring lifestyle. We’re all proud of everything he’s accomplished and thankful for his contribution to Despised Icon. Merci pour tout man!

Stepping in on bass is our friend Max Lavelle from Goratory. Our guitarist Al and him have known each other for over 10 years and have shared quite a few bands together. After filling in for Seb on the last 4 tours, Max proved to be the ideal guy for the job. He’s got it all, from mad bass skills to big muscles. Welcome on board Max!"
