Fans of Sacred Warrior will be surprised to learn that front man Rey Parra has stepped down from the band. Here’s what Rey Parra had to say to the fans on the Official SW facebook:

Hello Family and friends,
Well, it is with great sadness that I have to share this with everyone.
Just as a man’s steps are ordered by the Lord, I believe that he is leading me in a direction that does not include Sacred Warrior. We have been trying to finish this record for quite some time now, yet it has proved to be too difficult with time and distance between me and the guys. I have been trying to break away to Chicago but it has not worked out, I do not want to hold the guys or the album back, so i decided to step down as vocalist and make room for advancement. We are remaining best of friends. Distance and time are the main role players in my decision.
Thank you so much to all my friends and all the warrior fans, I love you all and thanks for the memories guys, Tony, Bruce, Steve and Joe, I wish you guys the best. I know that the Lord will bring someone to the band that will bring about freshness and new excitement for the fans. Blessings,
Rey

Oddly, the band released the album cover for the new album ‘Waiting in Darkness’ while coinciding it with a “talent search” for a new lead vocalist replacement. Little is known as to whether Rey’s vocals will be on the new album at all or if a new vocalist will redo any and all vocal parts. This writer has to wonder, after such a long wait for fans, will Sacred Warrior be able to bounce back from another huge setback and will fans embrace someone else belting out Master’s Command. Time will tell and I’m sure that many will be curious, if not anxious, to hear the new sound of Sacred Warrior.
