AILD new bassist/album

2007-05-21 by Zoo | 16 Comments
Nick Hipa confirmed rumors of Clint Norris's departure during the New England Metal & Hardcore Festival.

Nick Hipa:

"He wanted to pursue a normal life and he's getting married, and he was just kind of ready to close a chapter in his life," Hipa explains. "So Clint's moved on, and we're all still great friends with each other and we're all at his wedding.

It's kind of a hard thing to fill, because Clint, not only did he play bass, he did all our clean singing, you know?" Hipa says of his contributions. "On top of that, he's a very charismatic and identifiable member of the band. So losing him, it's hard, but he didn't write any of the music with us, so . . . it's not a loss as far as what the band is going to sound like. It's going to be unusual and maybe a bum-out for many kids who are like, 'Aw, man, I miss that guy."

Two different statements can be read below, the first link is Hipa's and the second is Lambesis's.

I'm mad excited about "An Ocean Between Us". I am sad, however, to see Clint go. I was hoping he would do more vocals on their new album. As this is no longer a possibility, I hope that Gilbert's voice is as good or better than Clint's.

Afterthought if I've ever seen one.

I've heard some stories about this bassist and some stuff he did, then regretted doing, in Amsterdam.

He was a pretty decent clean singer for a metalcore band. Too bad.

I'd like to hear one or more of these stories, Cocaine.

(I googled it but all I got was some director guy named Tommy Chong)

Man, now that the band lost the only thing that made them even a hint of interesting to me is gone. Oh well.

Awww...I liked the clean vocals. Still exited for the album, though

AILD aren't a bad metalcore band by all means. Their last couple of albums have had some real gems on them and Clint's clean vocals were pretty good...

New album could be interesting.
