Silent Planet bassist departs

2023-06-09 by Toondude | 23 Comments
Thomas Freckleton, longtime bassist and clean vocalist for American metalcore group Silent Planet, has officially announced his departure from the band to focus on his family. The announcement was made earlier today on the band's social media pages, stating:

I knew this day would eventually come. For me, at this point in my life, I have to move away from playing in Silent Planet. When I sat down and told the guys, it was a beautiful and understanding conversation. Something I’ve deeply grateful for. Their time, effort, talent, experiences together, and their love will forever be embedded in my heart.

Despite the departure, he did state that he won't be retiring from music.

Also, being a musician is something I cannot turn off. This is not the end for me. You will definitely hear something from me and some great friends of mine in the future.

Freckleton had been with the band since 2013, and has performed on all of their studio albums.

I heard these were teasing new music. I wonder if he'll be featured. Sad to see him go, he added a great dynamic the band's sound.

His vocals were my least favorite part of their music, though when used sparingly, i think they work. I wonder what they’ll do next

Liked him a lot he was a super nice dude too, WTEB is the only album I feel he gets grating on but his work on the debut and EWS is dope. Hope all the best for him

I agree it’s probably a good thing but I hope they make the best of it. Get someone who can actually wail.
