Justin Lowe leaves After the Burial

2015-06-24 by Benjamin Kuettel EMERITUS | 99 Comments
After The Burial guitarist and co-founder Justin Lowe recently left the band. His exit statement contains his thoughts on a massive conspiracy against him that is "more powerful than law enforcement." He states that the perpetrators could include everyone he knows.

Lowe posted the lengthy rant on his personal Facebook page, urging readers to save the letter in case it was deleted.

After The Burial has yet to comment on Lowe's departure or his exit statement.

This is really sad honestly, he's clearly having a schizophrenic breakdown or something of the like. I hope his friends/family can track him down and get him help quickly.

well schizophrenia can be triggered by a traumatic event and his close friend committed suicide. Or maybe he's been on like a meth binge or something.. i don't know

hopefully something like the latter cause there's no going back after schizophrenia kicks in

Damn that story actually freaked me out. But there's something kind of beautiful about a story so deluded.

He clearly needs help, it's pretty clear that his mental condition right now (schizophrenia?) is feeding on anxieties that he's been holding onto all of his life.

Schizophrenia is a very real and scary thing. It doesn't usually hit until you're in your mid to late twenties, so I think that's probably about how old this dude is. A guy who I used to take guitar lessons from has schizophrenia and at one point during an episode, he was found naked running along a highway. When he was asked what he was doing, he said he was trying to run away because the cellphone towers were sending cancer to his brain. He's been arrested over and over for doing weird, crazy things in public and he pretty much refuses to take his medicine or stay in a psych ward.

Yea well I believe that most ppl who have schizophrenia refuse to acknowledge that they have the disorder. Like I said hopefully he's just having some kind of breakdown or is using certain drugs heavily. Those could be addressed alot easier

I actually really dig ATB as a guilty pleasure band. No shame.

But I struggle really badly with bi-polar depression and definitely agree that I hope he gets the help he needs. Losing your mind to the chemicals in your brain is awful.

Really bizarre post he made. Like everyone else said, I hope he gets better. I dug their latest album for the most part so it'd be a shame for them to lose a key member permanently.

This could very well be a pretty damn interesting screenplay draft for a conspiracy tv show. Holy shit. Either he's absolutely telling the truth and figured the misteries of the universe all by himself or he's completely insane.

Like I doubt it'll be the same outcome, but it's reminiscent of Richey's disappearance.
