Singaporean thrash/death metallers Rudra have parted ways with their guitarist Devan.

The band commented as follows on the departure: "Our dear friend and bandmate, Devan has decided to quit the band due to personal reasons. His contribution to the sound of Rudra cannot be understated as he has been part of Rudra since 2008 and the last two albums bear testimony to the fact that he was a great songwriter. His commitment, sacrifices and work ethics are things that we will never forget and shall remain as pleasant memories. Nevertheless everyone of us and our Management wish him and his family well and the best.

In spite of the turn of events, Rudra will continue on as always! The Brahmavidya Tour 2011/2012 will go on as planned. As the famous dictum goes "What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger"."

Singapore's Rudra have issued the following update:

"Today is an emotional day for Rudra. It is with great pain that we are releasing this news that the band has decided to part ways with Selvam.

We wish Selvam our best in his future endeavours. We are thankful to him for the good moments and for producing 4 memorable albums with us. Rudra is currently negotiating with a few guitarists who could possibly join us. It is a very stressful period for us right now as we are headlining the Tomahawk festival in about 3 weeks. Anyways, Rudra will not let anyone down."

UPDATE (thanks to 28097)

Frontman Kathir from Rudra would like to invite the new guitarist on board: "It is with great pleasure that I am announcing the entry of our new guitarist, Vinod. He isn't someone new to Rudra or the Singaporean Metal Scene. Vinod has played in many bands before and has been known to us for almost 8 years. We are looking forward to writing the new album and touring with him."

Vinod would like to say the following to the fans of Rudra: "It is truly an honour to be chosen and be part of Rudra, a pioneer metal band. The first extreme metal band I listened to that inspired me and made me believe it is possible for local Singaporeans to start a band and be successful. I've known the members for a while. And now being in the band, I'm excited to work with them. Thus looking forward to contribute my part in the upcoming albums."
