Diego "D" says: "After four years of hard work, it is with great regret that I announce my departure from Necronomicon. This was an utterly difficult decision to make, not only because my relationship with Rob ['The Witch' Tremblay; vocals, guitar] and Rick [drums] has always been (and probably will always be) solid and empathetic, but also due to the band's increasing popularity within the international metal scene. However, there are different professional and personal projects which I must undertake and won't be able to do simultaneously with my current band duties. It is also because of the great chemistry that binds us as a group that this resignation will not be traumatic and sudden; I will remain with the band for approximately another six months while we find a worthy replacement.

"I want to thank everybody who believes in the band as strongly as I do, and may Necronomicon's evolution remain undeterred for long years to come."

The band had this to say, "The rest of the guys understand and support D in his choice and are happy in the way that everything happened. Necronomicon will start auditions for a new bassplayer [as soon as possible] since a lot of projects are in process."
