Brutality Will Prevail vocalist leaves band

Welsh hardcore band Brutality Will Prevail have announced the departure of vocalist Ajay Jones "due to personal commitments and his interests outside of the band".

Welsh hardcore band Brutality Will Prevail have announced the departure of vocalist Ajay Jones "due to personal commitments and his interests outside of the band", a recent Facebook post notes.

The band announced via Facebook earlier today that a "full-time commitment is not something that Ajay wants", and that the remaining four members are still in the band. 

The post also names Breaking Point vocalist Louis Gauthier as Jones' replacement, and mentions impending tour announcements for Europe, Japan, Australia and Southeast Asia.

The band and Jones have released separate statements, with Jones taking to the band's Tumblr page to write his account of the departure, referring to the band as a "farse", and claiming the band has gone "from being 5 friends in a hardcore band having some fun, to becoming a money making scam." 

The band released their third full-lengh LP, 'Scatter the Ashes in November of this year.
