Bassit/vocalist Angelos of the Greek extreme metallers Homo Iratus has left the band. His official statement on the matter reads as follows:

"After seven years of dedicated soul deposit to Homo Iratus, bucketloads of fun, recordings and live shows it has come to the point where I have to part ways with the band. I did not feel comfortable with the band's new musical orientation and therefore I could not continue on playing since the change was not there for me anymore and our musical tastes where now in somewhat of a contrast. And since there's no reason of doing something you don't like as much, it was only logical to come to this.

"I'd like to thank everybody who stood by the band all these years and has helped us both as a whole and personally, our fans, all the people we cooperated with, Sifis from Wizard Live Productions, George Briggos and Eugene Tsaridis for the killer sound at recordings and shows...damn!...you're too many to mention! though last but not least a big HAIL to the guys at STU (whose walls were my home) who made the whole trip mean the world to me. Thanx guys."

Homo Iratus is currently seeking a new bassist. Interested parties can contact the group at homoiratushavoc@gmail.com.

Homo Iratus's latest CD, "Fall of the Locust", came out in 2006.
