Oblivion Myth drummer leaving for ‘pharm’ life.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Nashville, Tennessee, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) September 9, 2011 -- Nashville, TN, September 09, 2011: “This has been an incredible year for Oblivion Myth” remarked vocalist Ray LeGrand. With the release of their ‘War Child’ single in June sparking renewed international interest in the Tennessee Power/Prog-Metal outfit, it seemed that nothing could slow them down.

“We knew it was coming”, stated guitarist Chris Selby of critically acclaimed drummer and long time friend Patrick Nickell. “He said he would be a part of the band for a year or two before heading off to college back in 2006, so I guess this is long overdue”.

No strangers to lineup changes, Oblivion Myth has been without a permanent bass player since 2010. “But, you just can’t keep this band down” insists guitarist and founding member Keith Smith. “We’ve been playing without a bassist for over a year now and that hasn’t stopped us… but this will force us to take some time away from the stage for a little while”.

In a written statement prepared by Nickell, the now white coated time keeper said, “Over the past few months I have been busy with my last year of pharmacy school and transitioning into the next phase of my life. I feel like I can no longer give enough of myself to Oblivion Myth. I am in a different phase of my life than they are.” Nickell went on to say, “I have been playing music with these guys for almost six years; not only are they great musicians, but they are close friends. So this was a difficult decision. I want to thank everyone that has supported us over the years. It has been a lot of fun, and I don't regret a minute of it. I wish the guys the best and await the next drummer ready to step up to the challenge of keeping the Myth strong!”

LeGrand, who also is the founder of “Nashville Metal Bands” an organization that supports the hard-rock and metal community in Nashville, TN stated that, “NMB’s 1 Year Anniversary Show at The Rutledge on 09/23/2011 will be bitter sweet, marking both a high point on the scene and Patty’s last show with OM”.

In the days following Nickell’s departure the band plan to continue searching for the rhythm section that will propel them forward as well as taking the time to finish tracks recently recorded with Nickell for an EP estimated for release in early 2012.
