Winds Of Plague keyboardist quits

Winds Of Plague keyboardist Kristen Randall has quit the band. She posted the following statement:

"I have decided to leave my current position as keyboardist with Winds of Plague and I'd like to personally thank each member of the band, as well as all of our fans. These experiences we shared have been such a huge part of my life the past couple years and I will cherish that forever. I wish the band the best of luck in their future endeavors. As for myself, music is my deepest passion and I look forward to working with musicians who have the same work ethic and honorable disposition."

Frontman Jonathan "Johnny Plague" Cooke had the following to say:

"We just completed an extremely successful Japanese tour with our brothers in Terror and made a few much needed changes within our camp upon returning home. We owe it to our dedicated fans to bring them the best show possible each and every night and the addition of Lisa Marx to our line-up is going to allow just that. We are currently holed up rehearsing intensely for the upcoming headlining fall tour and we are pulling out all the stops with this event.

"This stage setup is going to feature a massive light show, larger than life backdrop, scrims and risers. We want to entertain the crowd and bring them a true show so they leave feeling like they got more than their money's worth. The package is solid from top to bottom and we can't wait to annihilate everywhere with some new, never before played material. This is going to be the definitive Winds Of Plague show, so don't miss out. We hope to see you all soon."

Winds Of Plague tour Australia with Arch Enemy and Suffocation in November.
