Many Eyes, the fledgling venture headed up by ex-Every Time I Die vocalist Keith Buckley, have announced that they’ve parted ways with Charlie Bellmore. The latter had been handling the guitars & bass for the metalcore group in the studio, with his brother Nick overseeing the drumming, backing vocals and more.
Nick will remain a member of the band, while Craig Vittorio (Tzarina) has been announced as the new touring guitarist. Sean Vallie currently serves as the group’s touring bassist.
Buckley said of the lineup change:
“We’ve parted ways with Charlie Bellmore. We thank him for everything & could not have gotten this project off the ground without him. We wish him nothing but the best with all of his current/future projects and we look forward to the possibility of writing with him again when the time comes.”

Charlie commented on the split in a statement:
“Some time ago Keith called me and informed me I was no longer involved with Many Eyes. Does it suck? Yes, it absolutely does in reality what can ya do?
Keep moving forward.
With all bands you’re supposed to be a team, and if you have a person that’s for some reason effecting the team that person has to go unfortunately. Nobody else understood it, but that’s what needed to happen in order for Many Eyes to continue so that’s that.
I hope everyone loves the album when it comes out. I truly adored writing it the entire album with my brother Nick and with Keith, and I’m completely heartbroken I’ll never play the songs live again.
A lot more songs coming from me soon
Charlie Bellmore“
