Whitechapel Part Ways with Drummer, Knights of the Abyss Member Joins Band

by | Jan 11, 2011

Whitechapel confirmed that they and drummer Kevin Lane have parted ways. Lane has been replaced with Knights of the Abyss drummer Ben Harclerode.

“Over the past years I’ve had the experience of a lifetime and gotten to travel the world with not only a great band of musicians but some of my best friends,” Lane commented on his departure. “Unfortunately that time has come to an end. My playing had a falling out over the past year, thus I’ve decided to come home for good and go back to school full time. The past few tours I had the privilege of my good friend Gavin Parsons to fill my shoes and now another phenomenal drummer who I believe will do leaps and bounds of improvement to the band as a whole, Ben Harclerode has moved into the position until the decision for a full time drummer has been made. Thank you to everyone for all of your support.”
