Back in October, Allegaeon announced that it had parted ways with vocalist Ezra Haynes. The band had some shows to do, so it recruited Son of Aurelius vocalist Riley McShane for the time being… so lo and behold! McShane is now the permanent vocalist for the group. Here's what the band had to say via Facebook.
“We are extremely excited to officially announce Riley McShane as the permanent vocalist of Allegaeon. For those who have come to see us on the last two tours, I’m sure this will come as no surprise; his past work with Son Of Aurelius, Inanimate Existence, and Continuum speaks loudly as to who the man is as a musician and what kind of weapons he brings to the band.
As a long time friend, and being a huge fan of his vocal abilities, this is very exciting for us. New blood is always a great catalyst for creativity, and to bring in a musician of his caliber has been nothing short of awesome. Not only has he been a perfect fit for the group personality-wise, but has also provided us with an array of new vocal techniques to use at our disposal. So, Riley, welcome! All Hail Science!”
Best of luck Riley! We're looking forward to what you're going to bring to the band in the studio… assuming there's a new album next year? Please?
