We adore it when a great band makes a return. Double time if it additionally contains the return of a great member. That’s what Connecticut metalcore/hardcore band 100 Demons is doing. Not solely have they welcomed again their previous bassist, Sean Martin (ex-Hatebreed), but it surely’s additionally stated that they’re engaged on new music for the primary time in over 20 years.
Whereas Martin’s return comes with a tinge of disappointment—since he’s changing the late Erik Barret, who handed away final 12 months—the band appears excited to be again in acquainted territory. The band’s vocalist Pete Morcey posted this about the entire to-do yesterday (March 14):
@100demons203 wish to formally announce and welcome our brother and new bass participant Sean Martin @theresidualeffects again into the combo. We’re additionally excited to announce we’re effectively into writing our first document in over 20 years. A lot of nice issues occurring in 2025. Love each considered one of these guys. We’ve been taking part in collectively our complete lives. See you all quickly.
Barret sadly handed away final 12 months for undisclosed causes. Morcey posted a heartfelt and heartbroken message about it when it occurred, which makes me really feel like no matter 100 Demons are at the moment engaged on may be devoted to him in a technique or one other.
“We had some large issues within the works this 12 months my pal. I used to be so joyful you have been again within the band taking part in with us once more. I want I knew what was happening in your head. I do know I might have made a distinction. You left behind so many individuals who cherished you…..your loved ones, your folks, your girlfriend and bandmates are in shock.
