Brandon Feneide, our Rhythm Guitarist for nearly two years, will no longer be sharing the stage with us. Brandon has taken the liberty of preparing a statement, in which he explains the reasons why he will be leaving, as well as the reason why we had to cancel our acoustic performance on July 31st:
"Dear fans, friends, and family of Von Doom... it is with much sadness and regret that I inform you I will be departing Von Doom. This decision is purely for the well being of the band, as I have been unable to meet my obligations to my bandmates. I have been going through some personal hardships recently that have left me unmotivated, unenergetic, and depressed, which is completely the opposite of what Von Doom stands for. I need to take a break from music and focus on repairing my life, as I have made many mistakes and have no one to blame but myself. I'm sorry to disappoint you all, but Von Doom is going to kick ass with or without me, and they have my love and support one hundred percent. On another note, I was unable to make our acoustic show at the Hawthorne and let a lot of you down. For this I sincerely apologize and take full responsibility for the cancellation, as it was solely my fault. Thank you all for your support and love. These last two years have been amazing!" - Sincerely, Brandon D. Feneide
