The future of Burnt By The Sun is in doubt as frontman Mike Olender and drummer Dave Witte have now left the group. Remaining members Teddy Patterson and John Adubato may or may not continue under the same name. Here's what Mike Olender told Lambgoat about the split earlier today:

"The decision was amicable and there are no ill feelings between any of us. This core line-up was really exciting, satisfying, and rewarding for me to take part in and I'm honored to have shared the last 4 years with Dave, Ted, and John. We wrote music that we loved and tried to convey a message that made people think."

Olender will do a few more shows with For The Love Of, before focusing on his website http://www.theoreport.com. Witte will continue on with various other projects. Adubato and his wife are expecting another child in November.

any idea on what Witte might be doing?

get him in a band, now!!!!!!

someone get on this!!!

I guess they aren't playing sick-as-sin reply then.

dave witte is like in 600 other bands

he's in a band called hope collapse with my friend carlos who use to play bass in black army jacket

he's in a band with robin from defcon 4

he plays drums for melt-banana

the dude is busy!

Haha well wouldn't this just be a devastating tragedy for the modern extreme music scene?

damn. i had no clue this was happening. that sucks. dave and teddy should do a human remains reunion.

They should put Human Remains back together.

fuck all of that. discordance axis should get back together and continue playing music in the vein of inalienable dreamless... or did everyone forget witte was a part of that?

i didn't know he's in melt banana, that rules. if human remains or discordance got back together, i'd shit. especially because dave told our singer that if he put either of those bands back together, he'd want to play with us. \m/

Fuck you Steph.

considering you're calling people retards from a thread that ended in fucking september makes your comment void.

secondly, municipal waste fucking sucks and that's a tragedy in itself.
but lastly, he's also drumming agoraphobic nosebleed, which i'm not sure if I think is a good idea either.
