British death metal groove machine Benediction has announced that vocalist Dave Ingram will be withdrawing from the band due to ongoing health issues.

A statement from Ingram himself explained that he needs to step down as vocalist due to increasing arthritis pain and frustration.

Despite this setback, Benediction has confirmed that they do not intend to cancel any shows and have invited Oscar Rilo and Dave Hunt to fill in for Ingram on certain dates.

The band is grateful for their fans' understanding and support during this difficult period.

They are looking forward to performing with Rilo and Hunt at upcoming shows and hope to announce some exciting news soon.

The current lineup for Benediction includes guitarist Andrew Williamson, bassist Neil Hargreaves, drummer Steve Aspinall, and vocalist Dave Ingram.
