Ricky Armellino has revealed that he will be stepping away from Ice Nine Kills for half a year. The guitarist is taking a break for “dog and shoulder” reasons. During his absence, Steve Sopchak will be filling in. Armellino said the following:
“Man, I am so sorry for how hard it has been to approach this, but after seeing as many professionals as I can afford I am having to accept that my body and nerves are going to need some extended recovery time as I also keep a closer eye on my pet as he has is own needs that need addressed as well. @squaresteve thanks for covering for me. I will be sitting out for @iceninekills european tour and returning next year!”
