Hot on the heels of a new album release, it would seem like a bit of an awkward time to leave a band. However it has been announced that deathcore outfit Veil of Maya have parted ways with vocalist Brandon Butler.

The band announced via their Facebook page:

“Currently we are hard at work on our new studio album and while the music is almost finished, the hunt for a new vocalist is now on.

We are very excited with how well this album is turning out and cannot wait to release it soon on Sumerian Records. We know that both our long-time AND new fans will be calling THIS their favorite Veil of Maya album of all time.

We want to wish Brandon good luck with anything and everything that he does in the future and thank him for being a part of the band.”

It is not clear whether Butler’s vocals will be used on the album, or if they were ever finished on the new album. We will likely get an update on this when the band finds a new vocalist.
