Catalepsy parts with vocalist, record label

Orlando, Florida death metal/hardcore band Catalepsy has confirmed the departure of second vocalist Bert Conover. The group comments: "We have decided to kick Bert out as he randomly left us while we were in Philly in August on our tour with Endwell. We were forced to cancel all remaining shows as our other vocalist Josh was sick at home. He had went home because 'his mother was in a coma.' We later found out this was a lie. He also had a history of stealing things from peoples houses that we stayed at, venues, as well as money from the band. We apologize to anyone who ever had anything missing." In other band news, Catalepsy has "mutually" parted ways with Stillborn Records. No word yet on a label for their next release.
