The Canadian sludge/doom metal act duo Mares Of Thrace has been broken. The band has issued the following announcement about recruiting a new drummer after Stefani MacKichan decided to leave: "Hello Everyone. So, due to getting into the educational program of her dreams and its subsequent conflicts with touring, Stef has decided to step down."

"She is, as the Dothraki from Game of Thrones say, blood of my blood, I love her very very much and I promise I will keep you posted on her future musical projects, which will probably be very Meshuggah-like."

"However, I am very happy to announce that Rae fucking Amitay will be playing in Mares Of Thrace going forward. She is a Berklee School of Music-trained, metal session-playing, former aspiring Lovecraftian scholar and giant nerd, so please fling all your most unflattering granny panties at her. Also, here's a video of her playing an Allegaeon song."
