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!"

Phil sucks.

anonymous 1/25/2018 9:37:35 PM

Flea has applied for the open bassist spot. Reports also source him bringing out his pants with stuff animals for debut show.

"quits"

Travis definitely gave him the boot imo. Also, Cast The Sheetrock

anonymous 1/26/2018 1:31:02 AM

anonymous 1/26/2018 3:13:29 AM

Travis is a c*nt so probably

brokenhero 1/26/2018 3:33:01 AM

Scour sucks. Good luck

anonymous 1/26/2018 4:14:52 AM

Great move, the only 2 good Cattle Records, Derek wrote!!!! More SCOUR is more like it!!!!

anonymous 1/26/2018 5:34:14 AM

Doesn't move the needle.

Was tired of raping cows in the bus bathroom.

anonymous 1/26/2018 6:02:50 AM

anonymous 1/26/2018 6:51:07 AM

cast the sheetrock

anonymous 1/26/2018 7:17:09 AM

Who really fkn cares. Irrelevant. Derek looks like a fckin CONEHEAD to.

anonymous 1/26/2018 7:18:12 AM

DEREK THE CONEHEAD - GOD... YOUVE GOT TO REALIZE AT SONE POINT HOW UGLY A MTHRFKR IS

anonymous 1/26/2018 10:54:45 AM

LOL. Derek was not the main songwriter in the band. Idiot.

anonymous 1/26/2018 12:00:23 PM

Cattle Decapitation bassist lifts sheetrock

anonymous 1/26/2018 12:26:27 PM

I wonder if Cattle Decapitation said "you're welcome" for the platform they gave him to get a band together with phil anselmo. Nobody would care about the band if it wasn't for CD and phil being in it.

anonymous 1/26/2018 12:48:40 PM

was expecting the first comment to be sheet rock related. First mention of sheet rock was comment #2. Very disappointing.

anonymous 1/26/2018 3:32:48 PM

He probably took up all the room on the tour bus, dude is fcking huge.

anonymous 1/26/2018 3:35:30 PM

Check the credits, he was the main songwriter on last two (the only good) Cattle Decapitation records, bummer for the band

anonymous 1/26/2018 7:05:36 PM

This is horrible moos!

anonymous 1/26/2018 7:29:08 PM

Check the credits, he was one of 4 people writing. The band will be fine, they're pros.

anonymous 1/26/2018 7:49:34 PM

IF HES THE MAIN SONG WRITER ON CATTLE RECORDS WHY IS SCOUR SO BORING AND GENERIC CUZ HE IS THE MAIN SONG WRITER IN THAT BAND FOR SURE

anonymous 1/26/2018 10:53:09 PM

DEREK THE CONEHEAD. Ugliest motherfcker I've ever seen,

anonymous 1/26/2018 10:54:20 PM

I happen to know for a fact that Phil doesn't give a fck about this band. I've heard him say it.

anonymous 1/27/2018 5:29:02 AM

Link to Phil saying that? Didn't think so. This article clearly states SCOUR is working on new material

anonymous 1/27/2018 4:44:03 PM

Link to Phil saying that? Didn't think so. This article clearly states SCOUR is working on new material ^^^^^ He said it on stage at the DevilDriver/SuperJoint show in Austin. He REALLY wants Pantera to reunite. That's why he's doing these sheetrock-level projects. Also, don't be surprised if Phil, Rex, and Zakk do it without Vinnie Paul. They're willing to deal with the lawsuit at this point.

anonymous 1/27/2018 8:30:46 PM

It's ok Phil has Minnie Paul AKA Joey Gonzales, I'm sure he'd do drums

anonymous 1/27/2018 8:31:42 PM

DEREK THE CONHEAD rearMAN
