Having passed the road test with the group on their recent tour with Ace Of Defiance, Allegaeon have now decided that Son Of Aurelius vocalist Riley McShane is the man for the job. His position has now been made permanent with the band gearing up to work on a new album. Guitarist Greg Burgess commented:
“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!”
McShane replaces Ezra Haynes in the group, whom the band parted ways with earlier this year.
