Vitriol will continue on despite the recent mass exodus of members that infamously saw the band’s frontman Kyle Rasmussen, his girlfriend and their dog purposedly abandoned mid-tour in New York. As Rasmussen claimed afterwards, his bandmates’ decision to quit en masse and strand him on the opposite side of the country from his Oregon home was the culmination of tensions from touring and personality conflicts running high.

According to Rasmussen, the eventual blowout was exacerbated by the rigors of the road and some excessive consumption of cocaine — or as Rasmussen put it, ‘nose beers.’ Uncertain of the future of Vitriol at the time, Ramussen turned to crowdfunding to raise enough money to get back home, ultimately raising over $10,000 via that campaign.

In a post shared by Vitriol yesterday, December 22nd, Rasmussen vowed to honor the band’s previously announced support slot on a European tour with Bölzer, The Ruins Of Beverast, Misþyrming and Trepaneringsritualen. However, it remains unclear as to who will be backing him during that trek. That post read as follows:

“I am pleased to announce that, even in light of recent events, Vitriol will still be supporting the mighty @bolzerband alongside @misthyrming, @theruinsofbeverast, and @t__r__p__ across Europe this upcoming February. Thank you to those who continue to show their support.”
