Former OBITUARY/SIX FEET UNDER Guitarist Rehearsing With Ex-BLOODWRAITH Drummer

March 19, 2009

Former OBITUARY, SIX FEET UNDER and LOWBROW guitarist Allen West is currently rehearsing and writing new material with former BLOODWRAITH (Belgium) drummer Marco Vreven. More information will be made available soon.

West was released from the Gainesville Correctional Institution in Gainesville, Florida on January 19, 2008 after serving eight months for driving under the influence (DUI).

According to Headbanger's Blog, West has had problems with alcohol abuse over the years and even quit OBITUARY for a time in August 2005 because he was unable to remain sober enough to play shows. OBITUARY originally hoped West would sober up enough to work on the band's latest full-length CD, "Xecutioner's Return", but the guitarist couldn't pull it off, and on May 16, 2007 he was arrested and imprisoned after his fifth DUI offense.

LOWBROW called it quits at the end of 2008 after completing a European headlining tour.

The band's second album, "Sex.Violence.Death.", was released in 2001.
