Ender and vocalist part ways

New Jersey hardcore/metal band Ender has parted ways with frontman Joe Benducci. The vocalist has issued the following statement: "As the last few months have passed by i have grown more and more distant from the style of music that we play. To me playing music is more about enjoying what you play and because you love it, not just because this is 'where its at' at that time. There are no hard feelings between any of us, Ender is full of great dudes. I'm going to further my music with a hardcore band and play the music I love to play and listen to. This deathcore/metalcore scene we play in today just isn't for me anymore. I'm currently working with another hardcore band from New Jersey and looking to pursue something with that band, just at a much slower less rapid pace then Ender took. Like I said before Ender is full of great dudes and I hope the best for all of them." Meanwhile, the band is writing material for their next album and will be trying out new singers in the near future. Drummer Danny Lavarco comments: "Joe was a huge part of Ender, and we will miss him very much. As much as this sucks, there are no hard feelings and we wish him the best of luck, and will continue to be close friends with him. We will not let this bring Ender down! We are working on new music, and we will be trying out singers to front our band. If anyone is interested feel free to shoot us a message to our email enderhardcore@gmail.com. Thanks to everyone who has supported Ender and continues to support us!"

"I'm leaving this band because metalcore isn't cool anymore and fronting a hardcore band until that isn't cool"

I guess he was endering his most famed tour to date with DEMOLISHER and LEGION. I guess that'd always be at the top of my goal list too though :/
