French brutal death metal band Benighted announced that they have parted ways with guitarist Fabien Desgardins. Fabien joined the group in 2017. The band will from now on continue as a four-piece.

Says the band: "Sad news... Fabien is no longer in Benighted. After 6 amazing years and uncountable memories, Fabien is no longer in the band. We want to thank him from the bottom of our heart for everything he brought to the band and all these wonderful times together and wish him the best for what's next."

Fabien comments: "Dear friends, it's with a heavy heart that I announce my decision to leave Benighted. During these 6 years, I spent incredible moments, completely crazy, that I will never forget. But I realize now that I don't have enough energy to keep going with this insane rhythm between my job, no personal time and the decision of the band not to slow it down. I wish them all the best of course and I will miss you, guys.

"I want to thank all the amazing people I met on the road during this adventure, it's a very long list but I think of the fans first, you are crazy. Thank you all, sincerely! See you soon!"
