Well, my day is officially ruined.

sounds like theyre on good terms still tho which is nice

Dude was the heart of the band for me. This sucks.

This fucking sucks.. I really love all their music and their newest album one was the bomb

good on them for being mature and making the correct decision for them!

This is terrible news.

wish there was more drama honestly

On some level I kind of do too. It's almost more saddening that he's simply been worn out by the business of being in a band.

This sucks. He sounded great on Vengeance.

As much as I feel they’ve fallen off over time, yeah, he feels pretty integral. Will be weird without him

Band can't continue without him, one of my favourite modern metal vocalists tbh.

wish there was more drama honestly [2]

"Band can't continue without him, one of my favourite modern metal vocalists tbh."

Yeah, they should just disband. I don't think they'll ever find a suitable replacement.

"sounds like theyre on good terms still tho which is nice" - yeah, too many acrimonious shit slinging situations like this. I'm glad for him, sounds like the kinda decision you don't accept easily

Something happened to him after he administered the dream gravy..

Fucking sad news, dunno how they'll make it work without him.

well this is quite sad but it can't be helped.

he prolly wanted less wubs and more junz on the last album.

i feel like TFN never really "broke through" like they deserved. I'm sure with that much tenure and effort put into the band, it's gotta be exhausting. they'll never find a better vocalist though. probably best if they just go instrumental if anything

Yeah, they're going to have a hard time replacing Kin, but if they go instrumental they'd better go acoustic.

Nice to see such an amicable parting between band members. It's not too often that both parties give statements like this.

Big bummer, this dude has a really unique voice. Will be hard to replace!

who

Damn. They just released an album....he was such a great vocalist.

A friend of mine is keen on Tatiana from Jinjer fronting TFN and while it does make a certain amount of perverse sense I hope that doesn't happen.

Weird.

No thanks

hmmm

I was saying "weird" as a comment on Twelve Foot Ninja's singer leaving the band. I find it weird as in "suspicious."

What's suspicious about a guy quitting a band to focus on other things in his life? He's not even the first member of TFN to do it. The bassist quit 2-3 years ago.

Just started listening to these

damnit he is such a great singer. hope they find someone worthwhile who can bring some of his same energy. they’re gonna have to be very dynamic.

@SitarHero, sometimes one can find something suspicious intuitively. Like "for some reason, I've got the feeling there's something beyond appearances here."
Stating that appearances are not suspicious just misses the point.

But I was not inferring anything truly. I'm just very surprised and maybe the absolutely perfect official statement without anybody holding a grudge against anybody felt very clean. Also, spontaneously, the last album didn't feel like an album that would be followed by that kind of event. +the singer is so burnt out that he's actually going to complete the tour.

So yeah, it's just weird to me. I'm not saying there's a murder behind it.
I mean, things very rarely happen so smoothly. (I'm a traumatized fear factory fan).

@SitarHero

yo that acoustic instrumental slaps

It sure does. Ro does some stunning instrumental stuff on youtube and instagram, but the band is generally incredibly good at acoustic versions. I've had my fingers crossed for years that they'd do an acoustic greatest hits collection and Stevic has hinted that they were thinking about it, but alas...with Nik now leaving I don't think it's every going to happen.

Been on a huge TFN kick since this was announced. Super sad to see him go.
