Every Time I Die split up last month after a public falling out between the band and vocalist Keith Buckley. He said the band’s problems have been ongoing for “decades” and the split was “inevitable.” The band, which includes Andy Williams, aka “The Butcher” from All-Elite Wrestling, has also hinted about carrying on under a new name. However at a recent spoken word gig, Keith Buckley hinted that Every Time I Die might not be broken up for good. Buckley said that the band’s most recent record, “Radical,” was the one that “finally got us to a Mastadon level. However, it is not the end of anything: I can’t even say what the state of the band is right now.”
“I really felt that that was was a good thing for everyone, because I knew that there was friction between Jordan and I,” said Buckley. “There were a lot of things that happened during the pandemic that still haven’t come out between he and I that led to this, there were multiple attempts at communication, therapy and everything. I love therapy… and I went to it, and I encouraged it for the band, but it was cut off, and I didn’t know why. I just feel like I was looked at in bad faith. And I understand that, because I was an alcoholic and I did a lot of terrible things, and so it’s easy to see someone who’s constantly f*cking up their own life and just realise that every decision they make is gonna suck, no matter what… And I know that that bad faith filter had been put on for 20 years …”
“All I hoped to do was get a clean start and say, take all those filters away and try to look at me now as someone who is totally changing the way they’re living and thinking and speaking and interacting and communicating, and give it a chance: just pretend that I’m not the guy that you got used to. And they couldn’t do it. And it broke my heart. On that tour … it was undeniable that I was performing better than i ever have. I was at the top of my f*cking game. And I did not see this coming … I was led to believe that everything I was doing was working for the betterment of the band. I wanted the band to come out of the pandemic shot out of a f*cking cannon, Because I knew that “Radical” was going to do it for us, it was going to be the one that finally got us to a Mastodon level, or whatever … I’d come out of a marriage with a new approach, and a new confidence to life…and I just wanted the band to have their time to shine. It’s heartbreaking, heartbreaking. However, it is not the end of anything: I can’t even say what the state of the band is right now.”
Buckley concluded: “I don’t know what the future holds, but I know that, right now, this is exactly where I f*cking want to be, and I’m very thankful to be here.”
