New England hardcore crew Defeater have revealed that they've parted ways with longtime guitarist Jay Maas, just two months after the act released their Abandoned LP.
News of the split arrived today (October 19) through the act's Facebook page, where they explained that the decision was made on the weekend. Though specifics weren't shed, the band cited "personal & creative differences" as the reasons for the move.

Maas has not yet issued a statement about leaving the band.
