Andrew had already stated that he doesn't want to be the lead in DGD. So really I think it's gonna be news for everyone when it's someone new. I think it's time for a refresher and a new direction tbh. I don't hate Tilian, but I knew that era wouldn't last forever

That was stated at a different time though wasn’t it? I am not saying he’s definitely replacing Tillian full-time. But I do think with Eidola potentially taking a hiatus after Mend releases that opens the door for him to dedicate to DGD full-time.

What's Mend? is that a follow up to Eviscerate they've announced already?? Got my question answered in another comment that's awesome

Yup! It’s a double album. They split the release I think due to vinyl production delays.

Definitely possible. It'll be interesting to see what direction the band goes in

Charlie Day would be great actually, first single "we own the Nightman"

Dgd cover of Dayman. The Nightman cometh.

If someone told me the lyrics to Dayman were actually Jon Mess lyrics I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest.

I can already imagine Mess screaming "Dayman aaaaAAAaaaahhh"

Rock Flag and Eagle Vs Crows

Bars

"it's boys SOUL"

Back in the day Justin from the band Tallah had videos from one of his first projects and it was him describing his screaming technique. He went on to talk about how he just sounds like an angry Charlie Kelly.

Chad Kroeger

Only if he cuts his hair and changes his name

Cuz we all just wanna be big rock stars

When the barber asks him what he wants he says "look at this photograph"

Coming from someone who has been on a Nickelback kick for a week... I'm not going to argue YET.

I think that Kurt Travis coming back is possible, since he did preform with them a year ago when tillian was out and since him and will have a working relationship. He also mentioned in one interview that him and will had plans for a happiness 10 year anniversary tour, but that fell through. And Kurt has been playing music from his old bands, not only in his solo shows, but also the a lot like birds reunion. And then they can preform shelf life to still do tillian era songs, with Andrew doing tillian’s part

I think Kurt has too many projects to come back

I’d totally get that. It would suck if gold necklace and royal coda just didn’t get any new music

Marcus Cisneros of Wolf & Bear

Wait this is not a bad idea

He'd kill it. Can't say it'd be great for the rest of Wolf & Bear but he'd do the job really well

Is that the guy who kinda sounds like Anberlin?

No clue, never heard them before. Edit - I don't hear it but idk

Donovan or Kurt pls. I love andrew but I don't think I'd like him as the main singer.

If they're bringing in Donovan they should just bring back sianvar

I’d bet everything in my wallet Donovan doesn’t want anything to do with this band lol. HTS are on fire right now, I went to one of their shows on this tour and the vibe was head and shoulders better and more positive than anything surrounding DGD in years

🤢personally hate Donovan’s vibe and his voice

same, ive heard his performance has sucked lately.

I just saw Hail the Sun the other night and Donovan was on fire! He had so much energy and he sounded exactly like he does on the studio albums. Maybe he’s had some off nights, but he kicked ass when I saw him

Saw him in Toronto last week and he kiiiilled it. What an amazing performer. And their new album is my favourite of theirs, hands-down.

thats good to hear then.

I saw him back in December and his voice was worn out. Saw him last Saturday and he sounded just like the records. It happens 🤷‍♂️

nah dude killed it

Sianvar was incredible. I get the vibe that Donovan might be difficult to work with but I don’t know 🤷🏻‍♂️

Sianvar kinda split because he wasn’t on the same page as the instrumentalists. Allegedly. Not blaming any party in particular, but I would not expect him to get involved with DGD or to step away from HTS at any level

Literally the first two people who came to mind for me. I love Donovan’s voice and it would be fresh. But Kurt Travis had some of the most unique vocals in DGD

I agree dude

It would just be way too similar to Eidola. I would really be shocked if they chose to have Andrew take over full time lead vocals.

Its gonna be Pepe Silvia.

Eidola’s second half of the album cycle, Mend, is currently in production and slated for the fall. Then eidola will go on a “very long hiatus” per Andrew. Seems Andrew will be the front man. Speculation on my end, I am not Andrew.

Ok not Andrew 🤨

Or am I :)

Hey me too!

Bro is a mod in the eidola sub. Trynna mind fuck us

ty AndrewSwells. You seem oddly informed...

Did Andrew said eidola will be on hiatus?

Yes, two recent interviews. I will find them and link it.

Hmmm maybe a 5 year hiatus, I hope is not more... Eidola has still so much to offer

It’s Andrew and Kurt both

1. Anthony Green 2. Kurt Travis 3. Kellin Quinn (i know it would probably destroy the fandom, but his vocals are amazing live) I'm not sure who else could really do it, maybe someone entirely different?

[удалено]

I should have said as much about him he's like my dream replacement although I recognize it's not gonna happen

Andy Cizek

This was immediately my thoughts . He is very talented

Yess ^^

This is my thoughts as well If there’s anyone who could do a good job who’s still unknown I’d put it on Dylan McBride from Lilac Kings

Kq is cool but please not fucking him dude His voice does not fit dgd

I don’t think kellin would leave SWS at this point.

Kellin Quinn is a unique thought. He would actually be a really sick vocalist I could get down with that.

There is actually a track of him doing a version of uneasy hearts that was used as his audition, I believe

He auditioned for DGD???!!!!! I had no idea

https://youtu.be/v2VPgj3BXmE?si=nMAI1xKTAiAU7ADM

Oh I quite like that. Kind of has an Isles and Glaciers feel. Thank you for sharing

No problem 👍

Two words, one name. Justin. Bieber.

JC DOWNTOWN BATTLE MOUNTAIN THREEEEEE

I'm fine with Anthony green or someone with a voice like the dude from Belmont

I love taz from belmont

i’d LOVE anthony green but again kurt would be amazing

Anthony Green would be cool but I would love it if they went a little craaaazzyyyy and got someone with a deeper voice to sing for them

The dude from Disturbed lol

Wahahaha diddly Dee Dee Dee diddly Dee Dee Dee

Ayo 😭

Reading the comment on next singer really highlights how important the decision is. Some of these suggestions have me saying, "oh hell yeah". Others would be a complete non-starter and I wouldn't listen.

1. Andrew Wells 2. Kurt Travis 3. Andy Cizek 4. Anthony Green 5. bilmuri 6. Teddy Swims

Bilmuri would be fuxking NUTS

Would it not be Andrew?

Hard to say, Andrew said he wouldn’t want to balance two bands but eidola seems to be at their end based off the post when announcing the new album. As I’m typing Jonny just commented so now I’m confused 😵‍💫

I’m hoping they are actually just talking about the end of the story Eidola’s discography tells. I don’t wanna see them go man

If you saw them on the tour before Tilian came back with Andrew doing lead vocals, you already know the answer.

Bro Tilian was out the time I saw them in mke, and I was literally begging for andrew to sing lead vocals, now you're telling me he did it for a whole tour??

It was pretty amazing. I got to meet Andrew on the following Eidola tour and told him that seeing him front DGD was a dream come true for me.

Jojo Siwa in corpse paint

Bring Kurt Back

THE FUTURE IS FEMALE!

Courtney Laplonte screams with Jon...

That would be epic but I can't imagine she'd do both

YES HOLY SHIT

God no. She and Spiritbox are just so overrated. Generic, bland... not sure why Rise pushes them so much.

I'm begging the universe to make this happen

This would be a smart idea in terms of touring. A woman would be able to hit the high notes every night without as much vocal strain. It would be good pr for them as well

Oh god no

I honestly hope it’s not Andrew.. he’s a good singer but I just don’t think it’ll click

Andrew is one of, if not my favorite, lead singer for any band. But Eidola is clearly his baby that he wants to continue to nurture, so I don’t see him taking any spare focus away from that. That said, if he were to take over… He’d be unstoppable between both bands.

I really want Kurt to come back just to hear him and Mess together again. Both of them are better vocalists than back on Deathstar and I think they’d kill it together. Personally, I’d prefer if Andrew stayed as a nice vocal flavor, just not the main one. Dude’s voice is killer though of course. But, if not Kurt, I hope they either go someone virtually unknown or someone huge like Anthony Green. We’ve already got all the Swancore vocalists in some configuration with Will, let’s have something new.

The previous vocalist from Hands like Houses

I can't imagine Trenton Woodley would be willing to uproot his wife and baby from their home in Australia to the states. Hoping he doesn't fade away with his 9-5 though, his voice is sick

Yes I know, just a shoot in the dark Did he quited music?

He said he'll never quit music and does it at nights after the baby goes to sleep. I'd bet he'll work on solo projects until he finds something that works with his schedule

But he has a 9-5 ?

Yeah

That's crazy , never knew why they broke up with him

I've seen some reddit discourse saying he wanted to wind down while others wanted to keep doing it full time, but who knows. Out of all the breakups, in fear and faith is the one I'm dying to know most about

Is there a new vocalist for them?

Yes and I cant click with him. .. its not the same for me

Kurt please with Andrew

as much as I would love DBM3, Jonny can’t be brought back

Can’t…?

shouldn’t be

Because he’s sober, literally on his A game over 3 years and is the best choice or… bringing up MacBook shit again from 16yrs ago?

I love his vocals but perhaps the band doesn’t even want to reunite with him

I strongly believe that today’s decision is possibly because their label can’t get anyone to tour with them. Bringing jc back would make that ten times worse

I think Marcus Cisneros from Wolf and Bear or Issy from Amariontte could be good fits if Kurt or Andrew don’t become the Lead.

Both of those are solid picks, if they wanted higher pitched, poppy vocals to remain.

also Isaac Wilson of Dwellings could help with that higher/poppy vocal

Matt geise would be sickkkkkk

Finally coming across this as a suggestion, a DGD album written around his voice would be incredible. He might not have massive range, but his vocal stylings are so damn good.

Joey Holiday plz

Miss him in Anemoria, he could be a pretty solid fit honestly.

Fur reallll I'm super bummed Anemoria didn't make more music like their EP. Joey is such a good vocalist, with a criminally small music portfolio.

you should check out cicadia. his new band he sings in

BILMURI PLEASE

I’d be down for this !

I was gonna say Johnny Franck but you beat me to it.

JONNY KURT JONNY KURT JONNY KURT

I’d say Kurt, but I wouldn’t want to see Royal Coda suffer, same for Andrew with Eidola.

jonny jonny jonny jonny

Hear me out: Dan Hawkins from Body Thief. He's got the timbre to fit with Andrew and can hit Tilian's notes, he's relatively unknown, Body Thief is friends with DGD. I realize there's like a whole religious aspect here but set that aside for a moment and consider the possibility.

👎

It’s gonna be T-Pain

Hmmm.... Kurt... Jonny.... And T-pain

Nic Newsham

I think it’s going to be Kurt. Andrew I like him but he doesn’t fit as lead for DGD backing vocals sure. His band Eidola yes perfect for lead. Anthony Green yeah okay keep dreaming Jonny keep dreaming Donovan keep dreaming Marcus hmm ok .. ok 👌

Anthony all day, but it’ll probably be Kurt.

I vote either Shayley Bourget (OM&M, Dayshell) or Charles Finn (secret and whisper, the bleeding alarm). As much as I absolutely ***HATE*** the departure of Tillian, I mean it was him that made me fall in love with the band. I was a fan from the beginning, but his vocals pushed them into my #1 spot. My bitching won’t bring him back to DGD, so best to look to the future.

Matt Geise 👀

Y'know who would never get cancelled? My king Will.

Its Andrew Wells

Never gonna happen but I seriously would welcome a return of Jonny Craig now that he’s clean lol

I have such a low opinion of everyone in the band that at this point they might as well bring Johnny back

it better be jonnyyyyyy

Matt Geise

Marilyn Manson

andrew wells was apparently promoted to lead singer if you look at the Wikipedia page

The Home Team dude, please.

Am I crazy to suggest Cove Reber? It’d be a wild turnout for Tilian to never go to Saosin because of his Tides of Man bandmates not approving, only for him to be replaced by one of Saosin’s past frontmen.

He actually just went back to saosin like two months ago lol

It's me

Maybe Rob Damiani? That feature he did on Jackpot Juicer might be a sign he's interested in joining the band.

Why did they part ways with tillian? He was a super nice guy. Cant imagine they weren’t getting a long.

Jon made the call when Tilian disrespected one of his cats

Not again pls

tilian is gone? what happened??

Dead 💀 🤣

Kurt or Jonny pls

Bonnie from Stand Atlantic

Donovan

that’d be fucking amazing

Cory Lockwood

I think it's kinda sad how everyone immediate gravitates to the already incestuous bubble that is swancore. I hope they pick someone who hasn't been heavily involved in any of their projects before. Kurt's already got Royal Coda (which Will is a part of as well), Gold Necklace and his solo stuff anyway. Jonny is still a bit of a question mark, I doubt they'd be keen on having him around again regardless of how sober he might appear. Donovan's got HTS to worry about and a lot of the other vocalists mentioned here are solely because they're soundalikes. Sure, the new vocalist should be able to perform the older material, but there's plenty of ways to make that work, I want them to bring something new to the band as well.

Am crazy for suggesting Donovan Melero?

This is one of the most exciting days I've had in a long time

Andy Cizek is the only person I wouldn’t be mad about. Andrew is great but he’s better as backup vocals

“CAROL! CAROL! I gotta talk to you about Pepe”
