A LIFE ONCE LOST Sign New Deal, Lose Drummer

A LIFE ONCE LOST Sign New Deal, Lose Drummer

While we were away last week, our good buddies in A Life Once Lost had a very busy week. Early in the week they announced they have signed a deal with Seasons of the Mist to put out their record this summer. I think the label is a great fit for the band, with High on Fire, Dillinger Escape Plan, Cynic and Athiest being some of their labelmates.

Beyond that, the band also announced that founding drummer Justin Graves would be leaving the band to pursue goals outside of metal. Graves was one of my favorite drummers on the scene and it will be sad to see him go. Here is the official statement from the band about his departure:

"So Justin Graves has made the very tough decision of leaving the band after this upcoming february four show run. He helped create a sound that was not as common in the scene as it is now back in 2002 when we started writing A Great Artist. We have traveled a good portion of the world together but now he has decided to… pursue another dream."
