didn't he do vocals of some description?

Damn.

Kinda sucks but respect to the guys reasons for leaving.

Yeah, he did the "screams" and whatnot

I hope they find him!

Sucks but at least he had a good reason for leaving and good to hear that he's still friends with the band and no bad blood.

jeeeeeez, what's my world coming to?

Didn't he scream on Welcome Home Armageddon?

Yeah, he screamed on all albums except for Tales, which didn't include any screaming.

This sucks.

Yeah. His screaming got a lot better, though.

but what about his shoes??

oh wait, I see now

Pat Lundy did great in Rise to Remain, so good for him.

sucks

As long as they don't lose Matt or the lead guitarist they'll be fine. One of my favorite bands from their genre.

maybe they should look for him

Too bad, this band's Casually Dressed was awesome. And he did a lot of 'screams' on that album.

Oh well.

Well damn

He is actually a really great drummer. I jammed with him once a long, long time ago; really big Dream Theater fan who loved imitating Portnoy. He will be a big loss to the group.

I can see these guys becoming one of those bands, revolving door of musicians in and out before inevitable break up. It's a shame but they burned out a while ago, for me anyway.

Sucks. Good thing he's leaving for a good reason and not cause they're pissed off at each other.

@dogget have you even listened to Welcome Home Armaggedon? Arguably their best work.

Am I a horrible person for being disappointed that a person didn't die so I could pull off an epic pun about the band name?

That sucks.

They should have a funeral for him

Alongside Matt and Kris, he was part of the trio that made this band so good. He will be missed, but it sounds hopeful he'll back one day.

this could have implications for the band's sound, unless the new guy is also handling the screams.

So they lost their harsh vocalist too, right?

I mean he does the screams too, eh?

that's harsh bro

Pretty grim news, I s'pose.

Matthew admitted in an interview that his screams are terrible Andcas...this does suck, I really like these guys, been a fan since I was 15
