Here is a statement by the band: "Bob Bagchus decided to call it quits and parted ways with Soulburn. It came a bit as a surprise, but we totally respect his decision and wish him all the luck with his other musical and hellish endeavours. We thank Bob for all the effort he put into this band from the start on, and also simply for being this amazing legendary guy he is. Onwards!"

Bob Bagchus added: "A little musical update from my side: I recently decided to leave Soulburn. There is no "big" story behind it or any of that blablabla, I just thought it was time to quit since I did not feel connected with it anymore. I wish the guys all the best in the near future and welcome their new drummer Marc Verhaar. Thanx Eric, Remco and Twan for the great times and praise the Goat!"

Soulburn commented on new drummer Marc Verhaar: "He's no stranger to the Soulburn camp as he was often present helping out at our shows. He's a great guy and above all, a more than great drummer and we're very much looking forward continuing our blasphemous noise together. A new era has arrived?"
