AUGURY Part Ways With Bassist

Montreal-based metallers AUGURY have issued the following update on their MySpace blog:

“Hello to all,

After eight years of collaboration, we are sad to announce that we had to part way 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 long-time 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!”
