Guitarist Leaves Akercocke 2010-03-01 by webbtje | 8 Comments | Akercocke Guitarist Matt Wilcock will amicably depart the band at the end of their UK tour in support of Dark Funeral in March.
Wilcock said: "After five years with Akercocke and a lot of good times, it's now time for me to move on. Musically, I'm differing a bit with the natural path that Akercocke's taking, so it's best for me to part ways now. There's no shit between anyone, and I'm thoroughly looking forward to going out with a bang (or blast) on these last four shows [in early March as the support act for Dark Funeral].
"Full respect to the guys, especially Jason [Mendonça] and Dave [Gray, drums]. I'll be continuing to work with Dave on [side-project] The Antichrist Imperium which will be up and running very soon. Also much respect to everyone I've met on the road and at shows etc."
Tour Itinerary:
March 12 - Leeds, UK - Rio's
March 13 - Glasgow, UK - Hammerfest/Pontins Holiday Park
March 14 - Nottingham, UK - Rescue Rooms
March 15 - London, UK - Underworld

I enjoy these guys from time to time, the change will go unnoticed until their next album though.

Pretty much the only modern death metal band worth listening to anymore, but i'm pretty sure this won't affect their sound at all. I'm looking forward to the new album though.
