He continued: “Many Eyes marks the beginning of a new chapter in my story. One that promises to be significantly different from the ones that preceded it. Itāll be betterā¦ Iām better. I look forward to proving it, both on stage and off. See you out there. Love, meā¦Keith.”
‘Revelation’, the band’s debut single is set to be released tomorrow, October 13 via Jasta’s own label, Perseverance Media Group. He will also be serving as executive producer of Many Eye’s upcoming debut LP.
Buckley previously confirmed that he wasĀ still working on music and formed a new band last September.
The revelation came in a tweet posted on Saturday, December 3, with the storied vocalist promising fans that theyāll āsee [him] again in 2023ā. He teased: āIāve been recording songs with a new band since September and the new music has never been heavier. See you in the pit.ā
Everytime I Die underwent a messy split in January, following a public spat between frontman Buckley and the bandās other four members.
On January 18, bassistĀ Steve Micciche, guitarists Jordan Buckley and Andy Williams, and drummer Clayton āGooseā Holyoak allĀ shared a joint statement saying their last show with the band took place in December.
They wrote: āWhile we hoped to come to an agreed upon legal statement that outlined the truth, we were informed today of something planned to be released not mutually agreed upon that consists of inaccuracies and controls a narrative to benefit one.ā
The message went on to say that there has been āno direct communicationā with Buckley, saying āitās either impossible for direct communication with him solely or weāve been cut off to any and all communication by him himselfā.
The following day,Ā Buckley responded with a lengthy statement, saying that āany emotional [or] metal connectionā he had with his former bandmates had been āthoroughly severedā when he got a letter from a law firm on December 20, which Buckley had shared on the same day the bandās statement was issued.
The letter said that the firm, Savur Law, had been retained by the rest of the band āfor legal representation in connection with a separation agreementā between them and Buckley, requesting he contact them to discuss āthe business terms of an amicable separation between the partiesā.
