Drummer Leaves FEST VAINQUEUR

Last week, FEST VAINQUEUR announced via their OHP that drummer KAZI would be withdrawing from the band after their live show on April 22. The statement indicates that the drummer had been suffering from an undisclosed physical ailment, and that he may also have had a differing opinion about the future of the band, both of which led to this decision to leave. The remaining FEST members will continue as a band, and KAZI has also indicated that he plans to continue a career in music. For the remaining live show dates, FEST VAINQUEUR will be inviting a series of guest support drummers to work with the band. Guest drummers will include Ame (Rides in Revellion), HIKO, shion (ex-BIOSPHIA), and Rai (Gigamous). Some live event plans and special bonus offers may still be subject to change. The band apologizes for the inconvenience.
