Drummer Mike “Ratboy” Novak has parted ways with Every Time I Die as a result of “personal conflicts.” This evening Novak sent Lambgoat the following statement:

“I have officially quit Every Time I Die due to personal conflicts. I feel like im getting myself out of an uncomfortable, unhealthy situation, and it’s for the best for everyone, and I’m ready to move on with my life. I still plan to play and be involved in music and am looking for a new project to pursue. This is a new exciting chapter in my life and hope anyone who has enjoyed me as a person/drummer in this band for the last 11 years, sticks with me for whatever endeavor the future brings me. Thanks to all the ETID fans throughout the years.”
