Jose Barrales étant parti dans des contrées pas si lointaines (il part pour un temps qui lui laissera l'opportunité de régler des soucis personnels), c'est Mauro Gonzales (un autre latino) qui se voit remplacer le chanteur du groupe Thrash californien.

Voici les communiqués de presse de BBB puis de José Barrales :

"After 5 long years of hard work and dedication our vocalist and friend
Jose Barrales has decided to part ways with the band due to personal and
financial reasons. We all wish him the best of luck in his future
endeavors! We have, however, moved forward and found a great replacement
for the upcoming tours. He is a friend, fan and a great singer named
Mauro Gonzalez from local band Mutants of War. We have been rehearsing
with Mauro non-stop for the upcoming 2010 calendar and can't wait to hit
the road! Refreshed and recharged Bonded By Blood is ready to crush
your face in like never before! Be sure to catch us all at our upcoming
tour dates with Early Man/Evile and Overkill/Forbidden/Gama Bomb!"

BBB



"Since BBB is leaving on tour today, I've decided to let you all know
that I have left the band. It was one of the hardest decisions I have
had to make in a very long time and it crushes me to do so, but I just
couldn't continue any longer.


"For the past two to three years, I have been struggling with financial,
personal, band and family problems that seemed to get even more chaotic
as time went by. I don't really want to go into detail on my personal
reason on why I left the band; what I really want to say in this
announcement is thank you - thank you to all the bands, fans and friends
that helped me out on the Road, thank you for believing in me and BBB,
thank you for all the support.



"As for BBB, they will continue without me. For the past couple of weeks
they have been rehearsing with a good friend of ours, Mauro Gonzales,
from the band Mutants Of War. I only hope you guys Treat him with the
same respect you treated me.



"As for me, I will be around. I will never leave the music world, but
for now, I need to fix some problems of my own. I hope you respect my
decision and hope one day I can be on stage once again. One last thank
you to everyone at Earache: Dig, Dan, Ali, Talita, Al, Summer, Rich and
Ant. Ruben, Jerry, Juan and Alex: you guys will never be forgotten,
best five years ever. Give them Hell, fuckers!"
