Drummer Ries Doms, and guitarists Selim Lemouchi and Willem Verbuyst have quite suddenly quit Dutch heavy metallers Powervice. Here is the trio\'s official statement:\"Over the past few days we finally decided that we lost our faith in the band Powervice. As we worked really hard to record the best record we could possibly make, we got confronted with a few unusual issues between the band members regarding their mutual human values. It became unacceptable for us to deal with this situation any longer. At this point we think that the band Powervice, as it came new to the scene a year and a half ago, is far gone and sadly we see no signs of any recovery of this bond in the near future. We thank everybody for the support we got as a group and we very well enjoyed all of it while working really hard to live up to all expectations. Music speaks louder than words, we won\'t forget!\"
Vocalist Rogier Stockbroeks left earlier in February, so the only remaining band member at this time is bassist Richard Nijhuis. It is currently unknown what he has in mind concerning the group\'s future. Chances are Powervice\'s days are over.
Drummer Ries Doms previously played with Reaching Forward, The Uncontrollable, The Spades, Tony Slug\'s Floater, Bars, and The Hydromatics among others.
