After recently coming off the Face of Aggression tour with SKINLAB, ANKLA and PAIN PRINCIPLE, San Francisco Bay Area metal band HOSTILITY has parted ways with drummer Andrew Holzbaur due to "musical differences."

Comments the group: "We've been the same lineup since we were 14 years old, [but] unfortunately we just could not move forward with Andrew. Musically he was going in a different direction then the rest of us. We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors."

HOSTILITY will be auditioning drummers immediately.

"This band is our entire life, 150% all the time, on and off the stage," the group says. "We're not looking for a temporary fill in, this band is a family, and we're looking for a new brother. A meat-and-potatoes, brutal groove drummer. A solid backbone for the band… someone who doesn't give a fuck about anything else, and…. another drinking buddy!!"

HOSTILITY is looking for "similar jams to Dave McClain, Igor Cavalera, Paul Bostaph, Vinnie Paul, with some Dave Culross and Joey Jordison thrown in… between the ages of 23-28. Must have pro gear and be ready to do anything and everything for this band… If you would like to audition, we'll need the following info, At least three full songs (mp3s preferred), pics, videos (if you got 'em), where you're currently living, personal goals for your future in music, and anything else you might think is relevant. You can send all of this info to, hostilitydrumtryouts@yahoo.com. Each submission will be thoroughly looked into, and those that we're interested in, will be notified for further auditions (please don't try and contact us after the initial submission)."
