Rebuilding the band now will be my greatest challenge in music yet – Rage Sadler

Liam and I have briefly spoken, as he’s in as much shock as I am, and we have agreed to continue the band with a new lineup. I will be doing an official release about looking for new members and the previous line-up when I have had more time to process everything. What I will say (as I have had a few messages about it) is that there are no personal issues between any of the former band members.

Rebuilding this band now, to the position as to where it was at, say, at the start of the year, will be my greatest challenge yet. It’s one thing to replace members as and when people leave, but another thing altogether to replace an entire band 9 years into its existence, and the reality is, it’s almost an impossible task. I have, however, been knocked back before in music and been able to continue. I need to get the right people in and look at the positives moving forward.

The sound and dynamic of the band will inevitably change with a new line-up, as it has done between all the different incarnations of Kaine over the years, and this will be no different. New people bring different things to the table, so if you’re a lead guitarist or a bass player looking to take on a long-term musical project with a serious band with an established audience, please do get in touch with me either via bookings@kaine-metal.com or Facebook.

I will endeavour to keep everyone as updated as possible, and I appreciate every one of the messages last night and this morning offering your support. I’d like to be able to continue, and I understand that have a mountain to climb on this, but I am more than up for the challenge moving forward.

Love, Rage
