Sean Martinez Leaves Decrepit Birth
Twelve years after joining the band, bassist Sean Martinez has announced his departure from Decrepit Birth. He made the announcement on social media.
“Since joining in 2012, I’ve had the privilege of touring with incredible musicians like 66Samus, Alex Bent and Gabe Seeber on drums, Chase Fraser and Matt Sotelo on Guitar and the legendary Bill Robinson on vocals. We also had Mac Smith on standby to fill in on vocals during Covid,” he wrote. “Writing and recording bass parts for ‘Axis Mundi’ was an incredible experience, and that, along with touring, doing the play back and monitors, and eventually helping the band get some live recordings of the performances really contributed to my growth as a musician for which I’m eternally grateful!”
Martinez released Axis Mundi with the band in 2017, their latest release. The bassist added that he hopes to see a new bassist step in to “carry on the legacy.”
“After much reflection, I feel it’s time to explore new horizons in music and bass playing,” he writes. “I am available for session work and would consider joining another band in the future. I’m eager to dive into new projects and genres while also offering my skills in live sound and production—both at home and on the road.”
