I must say I'm fairly upset to hear about Nathans departure. I'm extremely curious as to the reason for his departure. Was he just tired of the band or what? I enjoyed his vocals and I personally think it's going to be tough to fill his shoes. I look forward to hearing your new album, and I really hope it has more of a Nocturn feel to it.
sweet man its awesome to hear that AJ is helping write and produce maybe now this record will be better than the last. no offense but hjopefullly this record will be loaded with amazing fucking guitar again. AJ your a fucking beast at guitar just so you know i love the classical that you play and the shreds fucken sick man.
Unless i misread something, Aj is NOT in the band, he is simply helping with the writing process and producing, so don't expect to see him live or anything. And i must agree with some of the others (the last record was utterly disappointing, it sounded like weeks worth of jamming together all crammed into each song, no designation,no path, just wanderings.) And as far as Nathan goes, i really thought that he had a very good singing voice, but im sure that their is some sort of juicy little unknowns amongst himself and Aj, and i would rather take Aj over Nathan any day, only because Aj is the common factor when it comes to greatness and The Human Abstract.
