Vintersea have announced the addition of vocalist Kayla Dixon (Witch Mountain/Dress The Dead) as their new vocalist, replacing Avienne Low. The band’s bassist Karl Whinnery said of the change:
“Kayla joining is incredible. We didn’t lose a step and when playing our set – I find myself just shocked at how much power she brings. Kayla brings fresh energy and techniques that take songs like Befallen and Lonesome Tide to completely new places. Our new material with Kayla is outstanding. Our first track, ‘Celestial Abscission‘, is new Vintersea in the vein of songs like ‘Devil’s Churn‘. You’ll hear what new dimensions and uniqueness that Kayla brings, alongside her raw power. To say we’re excited is an understatement.”
Dixon added:
“I first discovered Vintersea as a fan back in 2018. Since then, I have come to know and love this band just as much as all of you. Speaking personally as an artist, I have always felt a strong sense of responsibility to take my suffering and my lessons in life and use them to teach and to bring healing and hope to others on a large scale.
The music that we are crafting together is gripping, relevant and most importantly, cathartic. I am so very honored to be a part of something so special and I look to the future with nothing but positive expectation and determination to grasp the hearts and souls of many more as we expand our horizons together.”
October 15th has been set as the release date for the band’s first new track with Dixon, “Celestial Abscission“. You can find pre-saves for it through bit.ly/vintersea.
