Jason Roeder has shared more information regarding his apparent retirement from the music industry. Notably, the drummer says he was “unceremoniously fired by Sleep.”
Roeder said the following in a since-deleted post:
“Small vinyl archive for sale. 113 records. Would like to sell as one lot. (maybe to a record store?) All records in unopened, mint condition. Best offer.
To be clear, I have not “retired” from music. There is nothing on this earth that I would rather do. Life got in the way. One day I hope to jump back in. My personal circumstances prevent me from being able to make that a reality.
A career in music is treacherous. I bet everything on it and lost.
As far as Neurosis goes – I don’t know. The remaining members are truly amazing people and with or without me I am sure they will continue to do mind-blowing work, whatever form it takes.
As far as Sleep goes, I was unceremoniously fired By Sleep’s manager over the phone back in November. I haven’t spoken to Al or Matt in months and that brings some peace to my life that I am thankful for.”
