Unearth lose drummer

Unearth have parted with drummer Mike Justian. They posted the following statement:

"Last night marked the end of the line for Mike Justian with

Unearth. There are many reasons why we decided it was time to move on

without him, but we are not in the business of airing dirty laundry. We

will say that we grew apart as individuals and as musicians and the

split will be best for both the band and Mike.

In true Unearth

fashion, we will continue on without skipping a beat. We are pleased

and honored to say that Gene Hoglan of Strapping Young Lad is filling

in for the rest of our tour with Dimmu Borgir, Devil Driver and

Kataklysm. He will take the stage for the first time with us tonight in

Vancouver, BC. Gene is an unreal musician and has learned a set in

extremely short notice. We can not thank him enough for lending his

skills to our band for this tour.

Mike is an amazing drummer and

will surely turn up in another band soon. We traveled the world with

him, shared some of the best experiences of our lives and can call him

a brother forever. It was just time for both parties to split, plain

and simple. We wish him the best of luck with all of his future

endeavors."
