Metalcore standouts Every Time I Die split up early this year after the band parted ways with singer Keith Buckley. After the break-up, guitarist Jordan Buckley said he was interested in carrying on in a new project with guitarist Andy Williams, aka “The Butcher” from All Elite Wrestling, bassist Stephen Micciche and drummer Clayton Holyoak.
It appears there are possibly three projects in the works including one from Keith Buckley, who said he’s got his own new band brewing. Williams also teased another new project when he posted a video of himself jamming with former Every Time I Die drummer, Mike Novak.
Back in January, Keith Buckley gave a lengthy explanation about the band’s break-up. He said the band’s problems have been ongoing for “decades” and the split was “inevitable.”
“There is absolutely no hate in my heart when I say that whatever is going on with the guys from now on is between them and their God,” Keith Buckley wrote. “Any emotional/ mental connection I had to them was thoroughly severed when I got that letter on Dec. 20th. That was where our paths finally diverged completely.”
Buckley said he heard the band talking about their plans to replace him backstage at a show in Asheville, North Carolina. “I played the show (angrily) and immediately left the tour,” he wrote.
Jordan Buckley previously responded to a fan on Twitter who asked the band to keep going, minus their former singer. “That’s the plan. I hope I never stop getting in a room with these 3 to write rippers.”
Jordan Buckley also praised his brother in another response saying, “There is no replacing Keith which is exactly why we never even gave it a thought. Tremendous talent. Very gifted.”
Every Time I Die’s ninth studio album, “Radical,” was released in October of 2021 on Epitaph Records, but unfortunately, the band didn’t get much time to tour in support of the new music.
