German collective EQUILIBRIUM announced that their guitarist Dom R. Crey has decided to leave the band. He was part of the band since 2014.
Dom R. Crey comemented: “Dear Friends, supporters and everybody else. I have decided to part ways with EQUILIBRIUM and leave the band. Believe me, it was no easy decision and this process took me several months, if not longer. Many things have changed over the years and I feel the urge to change something as well. The detailed reasons are manifold and cannot easily be described during a single post. Hence, I will highlight the unforgettable moments and adventures I could experience during these 11,5 years within the band. I travelled China, Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong, South America, all over Europe, Northern America and the Carribbean several times and I will always be grateful for that. Thanks for the great fan moments and shows. By all means: I WILL NOT STEP BACK from the music industry. There is a lot to come and when one door closes another one opens. I am heading forward and welcome the future. Stay safe and see you soon.”
The band’s founder René Berthiaume stated: “I founded this band 24 years ago, and for almost half of that time, Dom was part of this crazy journey. We shared many unforgettable ‘first-time’ moments while traveling around the globe. He pushed me to improve my guitar playing as well as my stage presence, and his clear thinking often helped us through difficult situations on the road.
“Dom is a magnificent musician, both in the studio and on tour, and I’m proud and grateful to have had him in the band. We’ll definitely miss him on stage, but at the same time, I have deep respect for his decision to make a change in his life. We wish him all the best with his future projects – and we can’t wait to see what he comes up with!
“Dom‘s last show with EQUILIBRIUM will be on August, 23rd at Schlosshoffestival in Höchstadt/Aisch, Germany.”
