We find it irresistible when a great band makes a return. Double time if it additionally consists of 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), nevertheless it’s additionally mentioned 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 yr—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 want 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 properly into writing our first report in over 20 years. Numerous nice issues occurring in 2025. Love each one among these guys. We’ve been enjoying collectively our complete lives. See you all quickly.
Barret sadly handed away final yr 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 presently engaged on is likely to be devoted to him in a method or one other.
“We had some large issues within the works this yr my pal. I used to be so joyful you had been again within the band enjoying with us once more. I want I knew what was occurring in your head.
