Earlier this week, it was announced that DEATH ANGEL would no longer be able to support W.A.S.P. on the Blackie Lawless-fronted outfit’s North American tour, “Album ONE Alive.” The sudden news came as a surprise to fans, with ARMOR SAINT set to replace them on the bill. The only reason initially provided was “unforeseen circumstances,” leaving many to speculate on the details.
However, DEATH ANGEL’s drummer, Will Carroll, took to social media to shed light on the situation, indicating that the band’s decision to pull out of the tour was far from simple. Carroll hinted at internal issues, expressing frustration in a since-deleted Facebook post, where he described the situation as one involving “betrayal.” While he didn’t delve into specifics, his words suggest a deep sense of disappointment and possibly a breach of trust within the band’s circle.
Carroll reassured fans that despite the setback, he plans to stay busy with music, working on new material with DEATH ANGEL guitarist Rob Cavestany. He also expressed interest in collaborating on other projects, making it clear that this tour’s cancellation won’t deter his creative output.
The mystery surrounding DEATH ANGEL’s departure from the W.A.S.P. tour continues to fuel speculation among fans and industry insiders. While Carroll has promised not to divulge further details on social media, the term “betrayal” has left a lasting impression, hinting at unresolved tensions within the band’s dynamics or their dealings with tour management.
Despite the turmoil, Carroll’s commitment to his craft remains unwavering. Fans can expect more music from DEATH ANGEL and potentially new collaborations from the drummer in the near future. As the dust settles, the metal community will be watching closely to see how this situation unfolds and what it might mean for the band’s future.
In the meantime, DEATH ANGEL supporters will undoubtedly rally behind the band, anticipating their next move and hoping for more insight into the circumstances that led to their unexpected exit from the W.A.S.P. tour.
