Heights lose vocalist 2012-05-07 by KSK1 | 55 Replies | 2354 Views |
UK hardcore band Heights have parted ways with vocalist Thomas Debaere. A thorough explanation has not been given but it appears that he was kicked out by the rest of the band, however they already appear to have found an unnamed replacement. No shows are to be affected by this lineup change, and more news regarding the issue is expected soon. A short statement from the band can be read here:

This band doesn't really get a lot of attention on this site but i'm really bummed about this. His vocals really grew on me, and I liked the 2 new songs they just released.

The hell.

they posted this in the comments of their facebook post in response to some fans:
"We're not going to spend our time replying to everyone on here, some of you get it - some of you don't.
To be clear, we "parted ways" with Thom by "kicking him out".. Whatever words you use, the situation is the same.
To those with an open mind, check back Friday to hear what we have coming."
so yeah it looks like he was kicked out.
|
| |
Sounds like they are being assholes about it.
|
| |
Just creeped the singers fb page and he has a few statuses about it but no real information on why it happened. Just confirms that he was kicked out.
|
| |
he's posted about it on his twitter.

He sounds really devastated (no pun intended). Feel really bad for him. Wonder what the reason wil be.
|
| |
yeah on his tumblr he posted
"“good friend” fuck off. not the way i’ve been treated and by “parted ways” they mean kicked me out"
he seems pissed.
|
| |
This sux, he had a great voice. Hope he starts a new band.
|
| |
Average band loses a good vocalist.
Average band will either spiral down and fade from existence or they will reach a new level of assholedom and become superstars.
|
| |
he still plays bass in this band

^Pretty sweet riffs. Vocals are pretty awful though.
|
| |
yeah thom should just switch over to vocals since their vocalist is terrible.
|
| |
Yeah seriously. I'm hoping he starts a new project or something anyway.
|
| |
me too, its just a waste of talent at this point, he either needs to switch to vocals in dead weight, or just start a whole new band from the ground up.
|
| |
damn hope they find him again
|
| |
Haha, kinda pissed I just laughed at that. And yeah aubergine, exactly.
|
| |
Glad I got to see these guys before this happened. this sucks.
|

To be clear, we "parted ways" with Thom by "kicking him out".. Whatever words you use, the situation is the same.
so yeah it looks like he was kicked out.

oh wow i really feel bad for him
|

Richard Carter should be their new vocalist.
Sadly this will not happen

Weren't they set to release a new album soon?

sucks, he was prolly one of the best things about them [2]

I can feel another Gallows coming along
|
| |
These guys sound nothing like Gallows and Richard Carter left of his own accord, like he'd said he would
|
| |
Frank Carter was the vocalist of Gallows, Richard is his brother and used to be in Blackhole.. ;)
|
| |
yeah that, I get them mixed up

Worst news i've heard in a while.

I saw them live a week ago and their passion/energy on stage was great. Probably sucks that he is gone, but it's not like they were any kind of special.

Well shit, he was the best part of the band imo.
|
| |
Tom Lacey from The Ghost of a Thousand hasn't been doing much since they broke up last summer.
|
| |
By the Gallows reference I ment that the change in vocalists would be nothing in comparison to Thom's
|
| |
this fucking sucks, his vocals were what first brought me to listening to them. i sadly expect them to turn into just another "hxc" band after this. damn.
|
| |
I think it's pointless to record an entire album then kick your vocalist out before you even release the album. I also feel pretty bad for the guy, he's really upset about it, I hope he starts a new band.

yeah thats really pretty shitty of them to kick him out when they've just recorded a bunch of new songs with him. i really want to know the details behind the rest of the band's decision to kick him out, because there has to be more to this story. i feel really bad for thom, but he had to have done something to make the band feel that that they were unable to go on with him as their vocalist. i'd be surprised if he was completely innocent. that being said i still think its super messed up of them do do this to him, especially out of the blue like this. i hope he's successful in whatever he decides to do next.

"Tom Lacey from The Ghost of a Thousand hasn't been doing much since they broke up last summer."
damn i didn't even know they broke up. i haven't listened to them in years but that still sucks.
|
| |
Haven't heard them before, not sure if they are worth checking out either.

listen to that and make up your mind
|
| |
They lost their vocalist? Well, I hope they find him soon
|
| |
It's not bad, I'll check out more of their stuff. The band looks hilarious though.
|
| |
they look like fairly normal dudes to me.
|
| |
It's a shame Thom has left the band. Top guy.
I remember the first time I saw them it was in some random rugby club in Hemel Hempstead or somewhere like that and I had no idea where it was and so Thom found out for me and sent me directions and stuff. Barely seen them in the last couple of years though, not sure why, although I really liked the album.
However all the guys have always seemed like good guys to me so I'm puzzled as to why this has happened. I hope they can still continue being awesome.

"they look like fairly normal dudes to me."
LOL Joleon Lescott probably looks normal to you. If you don't know who that is google image that nigga.
|
| |
well other than the forehead scar he looks pretty normal to me. i'm not sure what that has to do with this band though.
|
| |
Gahhh forget it. Band looks goofy as hell.
|
| |
i just don't understand where you're coming from, they look more normal than 99% of hardcore bands these days.
|
| |
Hahaha they look goofy as hell headbanging and shit, I guess that's just me.
|
| |
They do look a little goofy, what's up with drummer holding his sticks with his sleeves?
|
| |
holy shit thanks for that link anarchist that vocalist is super raw
what a fucking shame considering i instantly fell in love with his vocals
|
| |
"what's up with drummer holding his sticks with his sleeves?"
Hands could be cold, may be a bit nipply.
|
| |
Their bassist switched to vocals.
Problem solved
