Destrose just can't seem to catch a break. In the latest blow to the long-suffering Japanese heavy metallers, guitarist Mina has announced her departure from the band. For some years, she's struggled with multiple chemical sensitivity, which had already restricted her touring activities, and as there's been no improvement in her symptoms, she's decided to bow out for good. Having co-founded the band as Destroya back in 2005, Mina was the last surviving member of Destrose's original line-up.




As if that wasn't enough, word of Mina's exit was accompanied by the news that vocalist Lisa will be temporarily withdrawing from Destrose. This is so she can undergo treatment for nodules on her vocal cords. Ibuki, vocalist of Around The Nation and Light Bringer offshoot Art Of Gradation, will fill in for all upcoming dates.
