Saw these guys on a random tour through my town, very good, and the vocalist seemed pretty likable. Gotta wonder why he left.

Still a bit vague though.

Solid replacement for Ritcher (vocalist from Corelia).. if not better, in my opinion. His cleans were okay but I had some high hopes for him (in regards to Ritcher), but oh well!

Nathan said he was the "vocalist/lyricist/frontman of The Human Abstract." How about just frontman? Guy is so full of himself.

weakest part of the band anyway. I didn't hate his cleans, but he wasn't particularly talented... at all. shouldn't be hard to replace.

I imagined all these guys doing that "We Are the World" song. lol.

Yeah I know Ryan, and honestly he's an even better vocalist, so I'd be stoked if he joined the band for good. Sucks for Corelia tho, first they lost Spenser Sotelo; now they may lose Ryan.

Bummer, but from the songs I've heard of Corelia, the touring vocalist will be able to fit fine on the tour (and maybe the future). From interviews and comments I've seen from the two guitarists, they would disband before they let Nathan back in. I don't think he was that great anyways. People don't seem to listen to Nocturne, or Midheaven (for any reason, really) because of the vocals, at least I don't. Digital Veil is such a rad album and I really hope this doesn't make them lose any momentum they have gained with it's release.

What the fuck is vague about, "I want to start a family, and see my parents and grandparents more,"? Man, I knew review site kids were dumb, but...

These guys are awesome musicians but they have NEVER had a good vocalist. Nathan was terrible and this guy was BARELY a step up. Hopefully these guys can find someone great and then they can become a more respected band in the Metalcore genre.
