Cattle Decapitation bassist quits band

After roughly 8 years with California deathgrind act Cattle Decapitation, bass player Derek Engemann has exited the band. Engemann has issued the following statement:

"It's been a great journey, but I'm writing to let everyone know I have amicably parted ways with Cattle Decapitation. I'm very proud of the success we achieved together across the last two albums. In turn, I'm excited to focus my energy on the next upcoming Scour release, my reignited project Cast the Stone (huge news in the coming days), and the other big plans I have in the works. Thank you to everyone for the support, and I'll see you at NAMM!"
