On New Year\u0092s Day, Nashville Metro police arrested 27 year old Oblivion Myth guitarist Chris Selby who is accused of \u0093dangling a woman off a third floor apartment breezeway\u0094 at the Tulip Grove Apartment Complex in Hermitage, TN. <\/p>\n
According to police, a call was placed for a disorderly person and as the dispatched officer approached the third story landing, Selby grabbed the woman, later identified as Kelia Ramos, by her waist and started to push her over the breezeway railing. Ramos was screaming, \u0093No, no, pull me in\u0094 as she grabbed Selby\u0092s arm.<\/p>\n
The officer pulled out his weapon and ordered Selby to stop, which he did and was then taken into custody without further incident.<\/p>\n
Selby has been charged with attempted first degree murder and was booked into the Metro jail on a $100,000 bond.<\/p>\n
A statement posted to Oblivion Myth\u0092s social media pages and official website on January 2nd by front-man Ray LeGrand said, \u0093It is with absolute shock and disbelief that I find myself writing this statement. About 30 minutes ago my phone started ringing and numerous text messages came to me asking for comment on longtime Oblivion Myth guitarist Chris Selby. This was the first I or any other member of the band were made aware of the situation.\u0094 LeGrand also asked that fans would honor their privacy and also stated, \u0093We will likely post an update as we learn more, but honestly, our information is the same as everyone else\u0092s right now. Thank God that this situation did not end any worse than it already is. Please pray for all those involved.\u0094<\/p>\n
Founding member and lead guitarist Keith Smith was quoted as saying, \u0093This is very heartbreaking. Oblivion Myth has faced challenges before, but none quite like this.\u0094<\/p>\n
When asked about upcoming events, including their highly anticipated \u0093Sanctuary From The Streets\u0094 benefit at The Rutledge in Nashville, TN on February 15th, LeGrand told us \u0093We will not be canceling any shows. Keith will be covering Chris\u0092 parts and we will go on as a four piece for now\u0094. When asked if Selby would remain in the lineup LeGrand stated, \u0093This is not the time. Right now we are focused on what might happen with our brother and on keeping our commitments. Oblivion Myth will not stop, but for now, deciding Chris\u0092 role in the band is the last thing on our minds\u0094.<\/p>\n
\u0093Sanctuary From The Streets\u0094 will benefit Sanctuary International\u0092s \u0093Bridge Bunch\u0094 homeless \/ food outreach which provide approximately 4,500 meals per month to those less fortunate in the Nashville area. Additionally, the group serves as a collection and distribution point for seven other organizations who also feed Nashville\u0092s displaced and homeless as well as providing food for 25 families directly.<\/p>\n
The \u0093Bridge Bunch\u0094, part of Sanctuary International \u0093The Rock N\u0092 Roll Refuge\u0094, is led by former Intense Records founder \u0093Heavy Metal Pastor\u0094 Bob Beeman who has been largely influential in the careers of bands like Stryper, Barren Cross, Deliverance and Vengeance to name a few. Beeman continues to consult with many of the biggest names in metal today and has a wildly successful podcast on Youtube (Pastor Bob Daily) in addition to his passion for serving the homeless.<\/p>\n
In addition to Oblivion Myth the lineup for \u0093Sanctuary From The Streets\u0094 will also include Roxx Records melodic metal band InnerSiege and Ulterium Records power metal juggernauts Theocracy, who will be playing their entire \u0093As The World Bleeds\u0094 CD live for the first time.<\/p>\n
Additional updates from the band will be posted to their social media pages and official band website, www.oblivionmyth.com.<\/p>\n
