2025 feels cursed in so <\/em>many ways. And a lot of bands are feeling the impact. Bands are just completely trading drummers with one another<\/a>, individual musicians are leaving due to toxic work environments<\/a>, and some bands are just straight up scrapping for no damn reason.<\/p>\n For three members of Dogma<\/strong>, however, there are a few pretty damn good reasons to leave the group. Vocalist Grace Jane “Lilith” Pasturini<\/strong>, guitarist Amber<\/strong> “Lamia<\/strong>” Maldonado<\/strong>, and guitarist Patri “Rusalka<\/strong><\/strong>” Grief<\/strong> have announced their departure from Dogma<\/strong>, citing manipulative management that turned “a band into a brand, and people into disposable pieces.”<\/p>\n The news broke yesterday afternoon when Dogma<\/strong>, and the departing members, posted a collaborative statement to their socials, stating: “THE FANS DESERVE THE TRUTH.<\/p>\n “We were part of Dogma<\/strong>. We loved this project, but what\u2019s being sold today is not Dogma<\/strong>. During the tours we saw unilateral decisions, broken promises, manipulation, mistreatment, and lies to the fans. The person who now controls the project is a threat to Dogma<\/strong>\u2019s future and is not an artist or a musician. He turned a band into a brand, and people into disposable pieces. He betrayed the artists, his partners, and the fans. Dogma<\/strong> was born from connection, from the music, from the stories we shared with you.<\/p>\n “Replacing people without honesty isn\u2019t who we are. Dogma<\/strong> is meant to push the ideals of freedom and liberation, none of which can exist without integrity and honesty toward the fans and everyone involved in the project. We don\u2019t want to see more fans deceived, spending their money and devotion on something hollow. The real Dogma<\/strong> stands here, with those who created that connection for real.<\/p>\n “But the power isn\u2019t in our hands. It\u2019s in yours. It always has been. You decide who deserves to keep the music alive. No manager can control that. Make your voice heard. Don\u2019t support a lie. The social networks using the name Official Dogma<\/strong> no longer represent the real band or what we stand for.<\/p>\n “Demand transparency. Ask for refunds if you weren\u2019t given what you were promised. Don\u2019t let anyone manipulate you. Also, no more masks. Masks were meant to protect identity, not to replace people. The only one who needs to take off the mask is him. The power to change this story starts with your support. We will keep going. The music, the creativity, and the truth are on our side. We put our souls into this project, and that\u2019s why you were able to connect with us. No manager should be allowed to strip that away.<\/p>\n “Lilith<\/strong>, Lamia<\/strong> & Rusalka<\/strong>”<\/p>\n There have been no updates, comments, or statements from their management, or the two remaining members \u2013 the bassist and drummer \u2013\u00a0in the meantime, but with the way 2025 is going and how much shit is hitting the fan, it feels like a matter of time.<\/p>\n Check out the statement below.<\/p>\n Enter your information below to get a daily update with all of our headlines and receive The Orchard Metal newsletter.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
