DECREPIT BIRTH Announces New Vocalist As BILL ROBINSON Goes On "Extended Hiatus"
Decrepit Birth has announced that founding vocalist Bill Robinson has "decided to take an extended hiatus from the band" due to personal reasons.

Decrepit Birth is also working on a new skiva, though it's not clear if Robinson or Smith is planned to perform on it.

DECREPIT BIRTH Frontman "Severely Injured" After Failed Stage Dive, Band Forced To Cancel Shows
Decrepit Birth frontman Bill Robinson is seriously injured after an attempt at a stage dive went horribly wrong.
The band were performing at the Glass House in Pomona, CA on October 13th, when mid-song, Bill thought it'd be a great idea to stage dive.

As a result, the band have announced they are unable to participate in the next four shows of the tour, but will be back on the road after that no matter what.
