Molotov Solution guitarist issues statement on former members

After replacing three departed members earlier this year, guitarist Robbie Pina of Las Vegas deathcore act Molotov Solution has issued a statement of explanation.

After replacing three departed members earlier this year, guitarist Robbie Pina of Las Vegas deathcore act Molotov Solution has issued a statement of explanation.


Leaving the group were Jeremy Johnson (drums), Sims Collison (guitar), and Kevin Oakley (bass), and although new members have not yet been named, it is rumoured that Jake Durrett and Shane Slade have taken on the roles of drums and bass respectively.


'Jeremy has carpal tunnel, not a very good thing to have as a 'metal' drummer. Truth be told though, he was never really into playing fast. He also was losing a place to live and decided to move in with his girlfriend leaving him to get a job. Kevin decided that touring no longer fit his lifestlye and wanted to stay home an open a print shop aka stoked on printing. He also wanted to be closer to his gf. Sims... a lot of emotional shit had been happening for him and with those two leaving he felt maybe he should as well and go back to school and possibly move back to Hawaii cause music is unreliable. Those two actually still miss doing that band and want to, but it's not possible. Nick [Arthur, vocals] and myself are still writing everything as before and it will not change a thing. This is something we LOVE to do.'
