GOREROTTED has parted ways with guitarist Matt "Robin Pants" Hoban.

Commented Hoban: "Well, people, after six long years of hangovers and vomiting I have decided to call it a day and part ways with GOREROTTED. I wish the boys great success for the future and would like to thank everyone I ever met at shows for being cool, especially the ones that let me smoke all their weed before being told to fuck off."

The band added: "We wish Matt all the best for the future and with his new band THE AGONYST. He'll always be our bro and as he said, to us he left on a high note having just played our first-ever show on American soil. We'll play the upcoming festival shows as a four-piece until a suitable replacement is found, when we'll continue the writing of our fourth album 'Get Dead Or Die Trying'. You can catch us at the Waldrock festival in Holland, Kaltenbach in Austria and Brutal Assault in Czech Republic playing alongside such greats as TESTAMENT, MESHUGGAH, NAPALM DEATH, THE HAUNTED, MADBALL, SATYRICON, DEICIDE and many more."
