Geez, he was awesome. Excited to hear new material from them, though.

Back in about April or May I think, he's basically retired from performing music so as to spend more time with his family.

Right before, I believe. Maybe he did some pre-production, I don't know.

I think one or two songs have him drumming because he drummed in a studio video. Would be interesting if he is still on a song or two. Also interested to see how Kris' screams hold up in the studio, they're impressive live.

hmmm curious to hear how this hold up to their previous stuff now that Ryan is out.

Has it really been that long since their last one? I don't care, more FFAF is always good. It's sad knowing Ryan left, but I'm still stoked to see what they can do without him!

I'm looking forward to this, thought WHA was amazing.

I'm really anxious about this since Ryan left, I just hope they haven't completely ditched the screaming since having them back on the last album was one of main reasons it was such a massive return to form. They have been one of my favourite bands since my teens and I will always thank them for getting me into heavy music in my younger years.

This band has not been relevant for awhile. Duds the last few albums....Hours was the last good one.

I love how every FFAF post is full of know it alls telling us how irrelevant they are. I've never found a band half as good as them, but when I do I'll be sure to listen closely.
