The Faceless seem to have chosen Abigail Williams‘ Ken Sorceron as their new vocalist, having recently played some shows with him. Band guitarist Justin McKinley recently told Metal Injection of their progress with their new full-length, which is currently set to be titled “In Becoming A Ghost“:
“It’s pretty much done. We’ve had some issues with finishing up on the vocals. Derek [Rydquist] was our guy, but it didn’t quite work out. Basically, he could track the album but it’d be hard for him tour in The Faceless tour schedule. As much as he and us wanted it to work out, he thought it’d be better for the band if we got someone to do vocals full time, instead of just having him on the album.
We have nothing against him and the separation was mutual. And believe me, I wanted Derek. He’s the sickest. We finally have another guy now though. We were just on tour with him. He’s actually tracking vocals with [Michael] Keene right now. The album is done being written in terms of music, we’re just waiting on the vocals.
It’s been in a pain in the ass to go through so many try-outs. Keene is really anal about how he wants someone to sound and I’m the same way. He has a vision and that’s why it’s taken awhile. And it’ll be out in soon. We’re really pushing to get it out this year.”
