X-Sinner.

Yep, I have read the guys are busy to work on the last EP X-Sinner will release.
I hate to see them go.
X-Sinner is a wonderful band.
I'm so looking forward to this EP.
I'm not a fan of EP's, but the last X-Sinner release is a must have for my collection.

If they release it, I will buy it.  I do hope that they would change their minds and at least go out with a full length.

I will certainly get it, but it seems like we have been hearing about the release of new material from X-Sinner since 2012 (at least that's what my "coming attractions" list says).

Why are they calling it quits

The two main guys in the band live on two different continents and have trouble getting together to write and record.  Also, they say that it has to do with how much their albums have been illegally downloaded that has financially hurt them.  I think there are other reasons but don't know either well enough to press them for answers.

Can you share what you think the other problems might be

I don't want to start any rumors (so take this with a grain of salt) but I thought I remember reading in an article or interview somewhere that Greg has some medical condition that makes it difficult for him to play the guitar...I thought that was the main reason that Rex made the GX Project his main gig.

I thought that Greg was the G in GX project. So if. he was having problems with playing wouldn't that mess up GX's plans too

The GX Project has been a project of Rex Scott and Glenn Thomas from the beginning.  I'm almost certain Glenn and Rex are the only one providing guitars on the GX Project albums.

You would be correct, Staybrite.

I won't.  It would be gossip at that point.  I will just keep my musings to myself as they may or not be true.

Well, this is news to me.. Old news, but fresh news I am glad to hear they have decided to record one last set of music. Even if it is an EP. And I hope the production is better than Raze Some Hell. It is one of the worst produced albums I have ever heard. 

I seem to remember Greg Bishop was auctioning off all of his equipment. I remember this from earlier in the year:

MAJOR X-SINNER ANNOUNCEMENT: Greg Bishop the founding member and lead guitarist of X-Sinner is retiring from the band and music scene. Greg will be selling off some of his guitar gear as well including the two Fenders pictured here at some later date. The axes will be autographed upon request of the buyers. They may go the way of a silent auction where bids will be taken privately in sealed envelopes. Proceeds will go to a charity of Greg's choice. The band has not made any decision as to continuing on with a live replacement or not as vocalist Rex Scott is also very busy now days with his GX Project band. X-Sinner has two new songs tracked to be released this year digitally only.

We don't know why this will be the last X-Sinner EP.
Nor do we know the real reason why Greg stops with  X-Sinner

I do know that Greg had back problems AND lived on another continent. I think he might have had surgery tho.

Wasn't it Rob Kneip who had back problems and left X-Sinner?
Maybe I'm wrong about this?
