Devin Chaulk leaves Haste The Day, band seeks replacement
Haste The Day‘s drummer, Devin Chaulk, has announced he will be leaving the band following their current tour with Sky Eats Airplane, Emarosa and Inhale Exhale.
Chaulk’s statement reads:
"After much prayer and consideration, I have decided to leave Haste The Day. The last 8 years of my life have been full of challenge, joy and great reward as I have realized many dreams while touring the globe with my very best friends. I am thankful to God and my brothers in HTD that I could be a part of it. My departure is not for ill will, lack of desire or even old age. (Even though I AM getting old). I am leaving Haste The Day to better fulfill my calling as a husband and pursue a career in full-time ministry. My wife has been an avid supporter of my ministry in Haste The Day, but I believe it is time for me to move into a season where we can serve together, rather than apart. My brothers in HTD are continuing on, and I am confident this will be nothing more than a bump in the road for them. The ’12 Days of Christmas’ will be my last tour with the band, so I encourage people to come hang out and be a part of it. Even more than this, I encourage you to continue to support HTD as they continue their journey. I would like to thank those who have supported us over the years, whom I prefer to call ‘friends,’ rather than ‘fans.’ Also many thanks to Solid State Records, Mark Lafay our manager and my best friends in Haste The Day."
Chaulk is the second member to leave the band this year, following guitarist Jason Barne’s departure this past summer.
The Christian hardcore/metal act plans to continue on and is searching for a new drummer; serious applicants should send an e-mail to [email protected].
