THIRD ION Part Ways With Vocalist Tyler Gilbert And Recruit Ex-ANNIHILATOR Frontman Dave Padden
January 29th, 2016
Canadian progressive metal group Third Ion parted ways with vocalist Tyler Gilbert and recruited former Annihilator frontman Dave Padden, revealing this development on January 29th, 2016.
Third Ion issued the following statement: “Sadly, after our last gigs, our singer Tyler informed us he was leaving the band. We loved having him, but his heart and passion lie with his own music. We wish him all the best, and good luck with his future! Right away we wasted no time and got right on the search for a new singer. Dave’s demo blew us away, and not to mention he has an incredible amount of experience!
“We have been sitting on this news since the summer, and after getting back from Vancouver this week, with a finished album worth of vocal tracks I am absolutely psyched to announce Dave Padden as the singer for Third Ion!”
Third Ion are in the process of recording their second full-length studio album. That effort is due to be issued through Glasstone Records, while May 2015 debut 13/8bit underwent release through the same label.
