I, Valiance Part Ways With Vocalist, Bring In New Vocalist

Melbourne's I, Valiance have again had another vocalist change up, with Simon Kuiper out of the band, and Daniel Konstantinou (formerly of I Exalt) now in.

Well...at least the vocalist search was much quicker this time around!

Earlier today the loveably weird and extreme metal outfit announced Kuiper's departure from the band through Facebook, saying:

"Simon Kuiper is no longer the vocalist for I, Valiance. It's unfortunate that things have not worked out between us but we would like to thank him for his contribution to our band over the last year. We wish him nothing but continuing success with his future endeavours.

We will be announcing our new vocalist very soon and are extremely excited to show you all what we have been working on.

Thank you."

Kuiper (pictured center) was announced as the band's full-time replacement late last year, replacing former vocalist Mark Poida, who is now in Aversions Crown.

Now, the first track that I, Valiance released with Kuiper was the eclectic but insanely cool 'Eye Visualize', and Konstantinou seems like a pretty good fit to me with his vocal style. Especially now that I Exalt have unfortunately called it quits. If you haven't heard of I Exalt before, hear their last single, 'Dialect', below. It's fucking hectic!

Hopefully, this recent lineup change won't impact the band's eventual debut album too much.

Fuck, I hope I didn't just jinx it.
