After more than a decade together, I Prevail have announced that they’ve parted ways with co-vocalist Brian Burkheiser.

The Michigan metalcore gang state that Eric Vanlerberghe is set to “continue to be the powerhouse frontman you’ve come to know and love”, with guitarist Dylan Bowman also backing him up onstage. The band don’t go into any details about the departure, other than to say it was both a mutual and difficult decision. Brian has yet to publicly comment.

Read I Prevail’s statement below:

“Today we share that we are mutually parting ways with Brian Burkheiser. This was a difficult decision, but we believe it is the right one and we are all grateful for the 10 epic years we shared together. We wish Brian nothing but success and happiness in his future endeavors.

“Moving forward, Eric will continue to be the powerhouse frontman you’ve come to know and love. He’ll be backed up live by Dylan who you’ve seen in this role many times over the years at the shows we’ve performed without Brian. Rest assured, we will continue to deliver the high-energy shows that we’ve made a pillar of our band, and we will continue to perform all the bangers from our catalogue. All scheduled shows will go on exactly as planned.

“New music coming soon… See you out there. Eric, Steve, Dylan and Gabe”
