Montreal’s juggernauts AUGURY sadly report the departure of their drummer Antoine Baril. Aussie skinsman ‘Frog’ of THE AMENTA will be filling in on the upcoming tour with VADER:

“I’m very sad to have to announce my departure from AUGURY.  Some personal and professional reasons have made multiple tours impossible for me at the moment. I wish all the best for AUGURY because those wonderful guys are making incredibly good music.  I will never forget those memorable shows and I would like to thank everyone for their support on the road everywhere we’ve been on tour.”

States the band:

“AUGURY thanks Antoine for all the good times and excellent music,  and we wish him well in all aspects of his life.  He will remain a close friend for all of us.  For the upcoming tour with VADER [in support of their new album Fragmentary Evidence], drummer Robin ‘Frog’ Stone from Australian industrial metal mad scientists The Amenta will take over the drum throne.  He is a very tight and skilled drummer, having learned our set in a matter of hours.  Click here to see a video of Robin in action.  We have a new drummer ready in Montreal for the upcoming tours. Videos and name will be revealed soon.”
