Amaranthe Officially Welcome Nils Molin (Dynazty) To The Band
Amaranthe have officially recruited Dynazty’s Nils Molin as their replacement for ex-vocalist Jake E. Olof Mörck commented:
“Great news! The AMARANTHE line-up is once again complete – and what an addition Nils Molin is! He was at the very top of the list for the male vocals position, and has already proved his worth on a number of shows with AMARANTHE across Europe. Nils is a born rockstar in every aspect yet with a natural sense of humility, and is certain to leave no fan disappointed! He has gathered a vast amount of experience together with DYNAZTY, and as such has honed his performance skills to perfection; since stepping in he is already a natural part of the line-up. Catch Nils on our upcoming European tour, or any of the planned shows for 2017 – and expect great things to come out of this soon!”
Westfield Massacre Welcome New Vocalist Seann Nicols (Ex-Quiet Riot, Etc.), Announce U.S. Tour
Westfield Massacre have announced the addition of vocalist Seann Nicols (ex-Quiet Riot, etc.) to their lineup. He will be taking over for Tommy Vext, who recently joined Bad Wolves.
Westfield Massacre commented:
“We are committed to fulfilling all obligations and promises we’ve made to our fans. We have secured the legal right to perform and do business as Westfield Massacre. Unfortunately, it’s not always easy for our fans to understand the internal workings of a band. We appreciate all of our fans support as we move forward and are anxious to deliver our record and get back on the road.”
Vext previously said that his departure was going to be amicable, but that doesn’t appear to be the case anymore with him posting the following:
“So my social media accounts have all been hacked and I’ve been blocked from #WestfieldMassacre’s pages and deleted from all the photos 😂
Looks like I’ll be leaking the new record on my private page in the next 48 hours.
Tag a friend who paid for the Kickstarter below to get the downloadable link as soon as it’s up
Vive la libération ! 🇫🇷🙈😂”

Invidia Part Ways With Travis Johnson (In This Moment)
Invidia (ex-Five Finger Death Punch, etc.) have parted ways with vocalist Travis Johnson (In This Moment). Taking his place will be Evan Seidlitz (ex-VYCES).
The band said the following:
“We respect Travis‘s choice to honor his commitment to In This Moment but it left us in a tough spot. It’s hard for us as well—Travis is family and is part of the Invidia story. We are beyond happy that Evan was interested and fits in so well in the Invidia camp. He’s a guy we all know well and the band as well as the fans are in great hands.
We sincerely hope you will all welcome Evan to the fold like we have and come see us on tour this summer!”
Johnson added:
“It was a really tough choice for me to step back from fronting Invidia. I love singing and am so proud of ‘As the Sun Sleeps‘. Invidia is family to me. I mean, I just can’t be in two places at the same time and I had to honor my commitment to in this moment. I can’t imagine a better fit than Evan. It was actually a suggestion I had brought up to the band.
I truly hope all of the In This Moment fans who have supported Invidia welcome him to the band. It’s a tough one knowing someone else is singing my tunes but I can’t see myself holding Invidia back.”

It looks like Skid Row have officially welcomed ZP Theart (Ex-Dragonforce) to the band. Rachel Bolan made the announcement during the band’s January 14 show in Nova Scotia, Halifax, Canada.
Bolan said the following:
“I wanna make this announcement finally formal. He’s been with us for a year, our new lead singer, ZP Theart. We’re going in the studio soon to make a new record. We love this guy. He just lives too far away. We’ve gotta get him to move to the States, but that’s coming down the road.”
Theart later added the following on his Facebook page:
“This bands music was the soundtrack to the largest part of my younger years and many a crazy adventure. Now I get the chance to re-live all of them for a hour and a half every night! I am beyond honoured to be given this opportunity. Think I’m a bit jealous of my actual self”
