Scarve vocalist Pierrick Valence quits
Vocalist Pierrick Valence has left French metallers Scarve to focus on his other band Phazm.In an interview with Hard Rock magazine published this past winter, Pierrick indicated that Phazm became his priority when Scarve faced various obstacles over the course of the past couple of years, including other vocalist Guillaume Bideau's departure for Mnemic and drummer Dirk Verbeuren's commitment to Soilwork.
Scarve will reportedly recruit only one singer to replace both Valence and Bideau (as former Darkane singer Lawrence Mackrory did on the song "Rebirth", on Scarve's latest Cd, "The Undercurrent"). The band's previously announced appearances at Belgium's Graspop Metal Meeting and France's Hellfest will not be affected by this lineup change.
Released in April through Listenable Records, "The Undercurrent" was recorded in part at the Dug-Out facility in Uppsala, Sweden with renowned Swedish producer Daniel Bergstrand, whose previous credits include Meshuggah, In Flames, Strapping Young Lad and Stuck Mojo.
