Many Eyes, the new band formed by ex-Every Time I Die singer Keith Buckley, have announced their debut album, The Light Age, out September 6th. The single “Harbinger” can be heard now.
Continuing where he left off in Every Time I Die, Buckley helms a ferocious brand of metalcore in his new band, and “Harbinger” is perhaps the most aggro track from the group to date. A relentless beatdown of thrash riffs and sharp leads echoes the throat shredding screams of Buckley, who sounds as desperate as ever here.
“‘Harbinger’ feels like the end of the world is suddenly happening, so that’s what the lyrics are about,” the singer commented via press release.
On the recordings for The Light Age, Buckley was joined by drummer and multi-instrumentalist Nick Bellmore and his brother, guitarist Charlie Bellmore. Nick also produced the record, with Hatebreed’s Jamey Jasta serving as executive producer.
As for Many Eyes’ live lineup, Nick Bellmore carries over on drums, with bassist Sean Vallie and guitarist Craig Vittori rounding out the four-piece (after the band parted ways with Charlie Bellmore). The band recently announced a string of Fall 2024 US concert dates supporting Sum 41’s final tour, but will kick things off with a trio of headlining gigs on August 29th in Grand Rapids, Michigan, August 30th in Chicago, and August 31st in Omaha, Nebraska, prior to joining the run (get tickets here).
