As previously reported, Death Angel were recently forced to pull out of their North American tour with W.A.S.P. Now, drummer Will Carroll has addressed the situation, saying the decision was related to some sort of “betrayal.” Some have speculated that he may have been taking a shot at frontman Mark Osegueda, who is currently serving as the vocalist for Slayer guitarist Kerry King’s solo band.

Carroll said the following:

“Well, this has been a week of shitty news and (and it’s only Wednesday). Now that the tour’s been cancelled I have a bunch of time freed up for the remainder of the year,” he continued. “Instead of falling deeper into depression (which really doesn’t suit me) I plan on staying busy with the drumming. Rob Cavestany and I are continuing work on the new music. NOBODY can put the kibosh on that. But in addition to that I’d like to put the word out that I’m interested in working on other projects. I love recording and I’m pretty efficient at it. Gigs and touring are possibilities as well. So if you’re interested in working together hit me up on DM or if you have my number then contact me directly. Please don’t ask me why we’re not on the WASP tour in the comments below. I think it’s pretty fucking obvious…”

He continued after Exodus guitarist Rick Hunolt responded, saying “This fuckin sucks!!! I’m so sorry Will”:

“It really does. The word BETRAYAL comes to mind. We knew there would be problems at some point but not so immediately.”

He also added:

“I notice people are slagging WASP here. As much as I’d like to I made a promise I would not go into details about why we are no longer doing the WASP tour….on social media. But to be clear it has absolutely nothing to do with WASP.”

A fan also chimed in, saying “it’s nice that [Carroll] personally reached out to the fans” and that they are “sure the other two members are feeling the same way.” Carroll then corrected the fan, saying “other three members”
