Alterbeast have officially welcomed vocalist Mac Smith (Krosis) as their new frontman. Smith will also be co-managing the band, with the following statement issued on the matter:
“We are excited to announce Mac Smith as the new vocalist and co-manager of Alterbeast!
You may know Mac from his previous work with up-and-coming deathcore band Krosis, as well as notable auditions with Aversions Crown and ANALEPSY. Below is a quote from Mac on his introduction to the band:
“I am extremely excited to be a part of Alterbeast, a project that I’ve been a fan of for so many years. I would like to give a shoutout to my bandmates in all of my projects for facilitating and motivating me to realize this great opportunity. It’s almost impossible to articulate on how surreal this is for me as a musician. Pertaining to the future of Alterbeast, I vow to give my absolute best to the group as vocalist and manager, as I look forward to tons of great music, memories, and opportunity that await us. I would like to give a special thank you to our bassist @Liam for making this all happen. He has single-handedly been my biggest facilitator in this industry and has been a true friend to me, and I give him my sincerest gratitude. Lastly, I’d like to thank anyone who has supported me since starting my aspiring musical career and am looking forward to continuing to make more music with one of my favorite bands!””
Smith‘s addition follows a tumultuous 2020 for Alterbeast, after several former members of the group publicly came forward against guitarist Andrew Lamb, accusing him of abusive and financially fraudulent behavior.
