Akercocke guitarist quits
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 2 March 2010
Akercocke guitarist Matt Wilcock has announced that he is leaving the extreme metal band due to musical differences. However, he insisted in a statement that there was no bad blood between him and the other members of the band, adding that he’ll still work with drummer Dave Gray on their other project, The Antichrist Imperium. His final shows with the band will be four dates supporting Dark Funeral on their UK tour.
Wilcock said: “After five years with Akercocke and a lot of good times, it’s now time for me to move on. Musically, I’m differing a bit with the natural path that Akercocke’s taking, so it’s best for me to part ways now. There’s no shit between anyone, and I’m thoroughly looking forward to going out with a bang (or blast) on these last four shows”.
