Steven Henry leaving Neuraxis[views:9827][posts:6]__________________________________ [Jan 16,2006 8:18pm - brian_dc ""] Montreal's Neuraxis have announced the departure of guitarist and founding member, Steven Henry. The move is the result of "personal and musical differences," though the band emphatically states that the split is amicable. The group will continue as a 4-piece with intentions to recruit a live session guitarist for their upcoming tours. For his part, Henry has released the following statement: "After 13 years as guitarist and founder of Neuraxis, I decided to take a different path. It's simple, the flame of playing Neuraxis is extinct, and gone are the motivation and taste for it. These things happen, especially when I did not expect the band to go as far as it has gone up to now, so it would be ridiculous for me to slow Neuraxis down. I don't want to be a burden, what I want is the band to grow bigger and I don't think I'm part of that equation. I definitely need a break and Neuraxis cannot afford to lose its time waiting for me. There are way too many good things ahead for the band, and I do not worry at all that Neuraxis will do great without me. I wish nothing but the best for the guys, and also that they'll find another talented and dedicated guitar player. I want to thank the guys for their time, friendship and passion for music. I wish them the best! As for me, I'll keep going with my 3 projects: Urban Aliens, Idiopathetics and Empathy Denied." Meanwhile, Neuraxis have revealed plans to tour Japan in March with Misery Index. The following dates have been confirmed: 3/11 Yotsuya, Tokyo @ Outbreak w/ Woundeep, Defiled, Mad Butcher ABC 3/12 Shibuya, Tokyo @ Cyclone w/ Woundeep, Disconformity, Loyal To The Grave, At One Stroke, Enzweck -lambgoat weak |

| ______________________________ [Jan 16,2006 9:14pm - nate ""] It's a shame but Steve's always been proud of being lesser known and promoting his activities. Like John said maybe he'll bring back Neoblast and crank out some great new bands. |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 16,2006 9:32pm - BornSoVile ""] I'm sure he'll still be extremely active within the Montreal scene, he does lights and video tapes lots of shows there. Having 3 projects play reguarly in Montreal is a sweet deal too. |

| _________________________________________ [Jan 17,2006 7:21pm - GoatOfCatalyst ""] Steven is a great man. I remember when he hosted the Capharnaum website on Neoblast and got us up to Montreal in '97... best time ever. LE ARCHEVERDE DE POR-NO-GRA-FEEEE |
