~omg. No! My world is over!!~*

hmm, hope the new album doesnt get delayed.. also, really hope dusty's not actually leaving, the electronics are such a big part of them.

Drums are programmed, this means little.

The point is a change of drummer doesn't change a thing.

Always bad news when a member leaves. I hope they find a suitable replacement.

If they both leave this band is seriously in trouble. I hope this isn't the case. They had some massive things lined up.

Their first unreleased EP with the original singer was musically and lyrically fantastic. A breath of fresh air. Everything that has come after has been a trite (and failing) attempt at living up to that EP.

Best post so far.

I think it's quite the compliment hen people say our drums were programmed or even triggered. Justin is one of my best friends, and extremely close with us but yes he decided to call it a day with touring. We aren't missing a beat though, we have a great drummer who is going to take what we had planned and truly help make the drums take another leap forward. We're not delaying our record, not canceling any shows and are moving forward as always. Every band goes through member changes, but the reality is Tony Zack and myself have written 90% of everything with most of the instruments post-Empire. Dusty left the band weeks ago so that is true, for much different reasons but all of those elements will be there. The new album has a ton of electronic components that we're trying and Tony and Zack did a great job at taking it up a notch in my opinion.

This is seriously bumming.

How come you guys haven't announced Dusty leaving? Those keys better still be legit.

I hope that while you were writing this you were also getting a haircut.

Shut the fuck up.

Shame. Justin was a fucking killer drummer and Dusty's keys were incredible.
