Vehemence Vocalist

Metal Blade reports: John from Vehemence issued the following update: As for a new vocalist, everyone seems to still be confused who that is after we had made a statement earlier about it on our website. Sean Vandegrift (ex-From A Second Story Window) will be moving to Phoenix, AZ this summer and is our permanent new vocalist. He is a family man but that factor in his life is sorted out now. We stayed at his apartment on this tour the guy is really educated and hilarious. I think he is the perfect front man for our band. He will be living with Bjorn, our other guitarist, and lyric writing has already begun. We can't tell you what the lyrics are going to be about just yet but they will be just as viable and diverse as our last albums. For one thing we aren't going to be bashing religion or women anymore. So everyone can let out a sigh and be happy now, we have all had agnosticbeliefs from the get go and our lyrical and artwork factors for this band since day one have misrepresented us from the start.
