Khemmis has announced, prior to their appearance at the upcoming Decibel live stream event, that they've parted ways with founding bassist Daniel Beiers. The band said the split was the result of much reflection over the pandemic, and they wish him and his family all the best.
"With our impending appearance at the Decibel 200th issue anniversary event, it is time that we let you know that we parted ways with founding member and bassist Dan Beiers in December. The events of the last year forced us all to reexamine our lives, our capacities to manage our individual mental and physical health, and the state of our relationships both inside and outside of Khemmis.
"This decision was the result of that period of reflection and some difficult conversations among the four of us as well as with our loved ones. We are eternally grateful for his contributions and friendship over the years, and we wish him and his family the very best wherever their path leads them next.
"Love you, brother.
Khemmis was in the studio with producer Dave Otero (Archspire, Cattle Decapitation, Primitive Man) earlier this year.
