After nearly seven months of holding open vocal tryouts, progressive metal outfit Volumes have finally announced their new co-vocalist. Taking the place of former clean singer Micheal Barr will be, drum roll please, ex-Bury Your Dead frontman Myke Terry.
In regards to how Terry was chosen for the new gig, Volumes took to their Facebook page to explain.
“We listened to all 400+ [vocal auditions] that were submitted (again and again). There were some great auditions and some not so great. We had some people personally fly out/travel out to audition in person for multiple tryouts. It was a tough decision with a lot of talented people.”
The band also added, “Myke Terry auditioned just like everyone else. It just so happens that we felt he was the best one OVERALL for several different reasons, regardless of the fact that he was in a known band before. We are extremely excited to have him be a part of Volumes. He is already a true friend and brother to us.”
