This upsets me quite a bit, I fucking loved this dude's vocals

bummer. dude was good. band was (is) good. one of the only metalcore bands of the last 5ish years worth a shit

The exact same thing happened with Northlane as well; one EP, two albums, and then the frontman leaves. These guys always were said to be the spiritual successor to them

rip

They'll pull a Northlane and release their two best albums with a new vocalist

You are like the only person who thinks that

Such a bummer, he seemed like a real nice dude when I saw them live last month, really good live performance and stage presence. Hope IA find another vocalist and don't split.

yeah that is complete horseshit. Northlane's last two albums are dull as dishwater.

This is pretty disastrous news. I love these guys.

Fuck, these guys are up there with Counterparts when it comes to solid metalcore. Ben's vocals were always amazing.

RIP Steak's favourite band

sounds like they need to Invent Vocalist now.

This upsets me a lot as well. They have been one of my favorites the last few years.

Oh no wtf :c its another Northlane situation... Bummer dude.

Well this fucking sucks. Dude had some monstrous lows. I still got faith that IA will still be good but its hard to imagine how they'd sound with a different vocalist.

Yeah his lows are the best

"Progressive metalcore"

So djent?

This is gonna be another Northlane situation Isn’t it? So that means they’ll release 2 shitty djent albums, great.

Damn almost the entire metalcore crew in the house

they had a good run, RIP

Odd that people think new Northlane is so inferior when the average ratings are 0.1 below Singularity

Never got into IA, but I imagine they have the potential to improve even after this.

Rip IA :/

and yes post-singularity northlane blows

The gang's all here bloc, to mourn this unfortunate parting of ways of a fantastic vocalist. Honestly they probably were getting up there to be my favorites

And pj I wouldn't call them djent

At least they still have their incredible guitarist and drummer, but Ben was such a staple. When I thought of this band I thought of Ben

What ever happened to the I, The Breather guy? He has some pipes, they should get him.

^ word, Shawn is/was a monster

Shawn wanted to focus on his family so I doubt he'd want to be in another band. He wouldn't really fit their sound anyway, and his lows are very weak compared to Ben's

I'm not going to compare their vocals but I always really dug Shawn's screams and found them particularly spine-curdling.

I loved his vocals as well, but he would not fit in this band

Purely conjecture but I think part of the reason may be the toll the style of screaming has taken on his voice. Adrian left Northlane for this reason, this guys style is quite similar and it wouldn't surprise me if he had the same problem with the voice.

Only difference is that Ben's reason for leaving is completely different, he never said anything about vocal damage

Yo I haven't been this devastated about a vocalist leaving since Garrison left Erra

Bummer, they were great. Last two cds ripped.

The EP was great too. And I know how heartbroken you are Steak

Good call on the I The Breather guy though, he is awesome.

I miss that band

Same, they were like a poor man's ABR but they were fun as hell. Less happy tappy and more heavy ass breakdowns.

Way better than Texas in July too lol

Yea they were such a good ABR clone lmao, but with their own flair to make it fun. I loved the riffs that their guitarists would could up with, like on Meaning and Judgement

Texas In July were super average

TIJ's final album with JT Cavey was boss.

True, they stepped it up on the last one. And their "classic" track Hook, Line, and Sinner slaps planets.

Texas In July should've stayed together so JT wouldn't have gone to Erra to be a monotone sissy

WHOA CALM DOWN

He's right lol

The dude from Of Glaciers would make a great replacement

Yoooooo that would've been fucking sweet, that dude was a monster

They'll pull a Northlane and release their two best albums with a new vocalist
