Bury Your Dead have confirmed that ex-Cassius singer Myke Terry will now be permanently fronting the band. They posted the following statement:
"We know there's been a lot of confusion about the
current status of our singer so we figured we'd take the time to fill everyone
in on what's been going on. The band has faced many hurdles and gone through a

few lineup changes but we would like to announce that Myke Terry, former
vocalist of Cassius from Richmond,
Virginia, will be taking the helm
as our new, permanent vocalist. It's been a long 2 years since we were down
here in Florida
recording the last record and a lot has happened that could have broken up a
lot of bands... and was close to breaking us up. But we found Myke Terry to
step up and take over on vocals for us. We have also permanently added Bubble
on bass.
This new record is the best thing we have ever done collectively as a band.
Everyone has been thinking about this since we put the last one out. We've gone
through a lot. We've lost and gained a singer and all of these things have
helped shape this record and make us stronger than ever. Bury Your Dead is
coming back with a vengeance and with a new front man. All the pieces to the
puzzle are now complete and we can't wait for everyone to hear what we have
created in the studio and get back to riff gigging as soon as possible."
Myke Terry had this to say:
"You know, they say that some opportunities only come
once in a lifetime... well, even rarer than that, an opportunity as this comes
around twice. With that being said, after being offered this position not once,
but twice, I decided it was probably in my best interest to give it a shot. And
I feel that I've made the right choice by 100%. I am beyond honored to perform
every night with a group of guys I've looked up to and been friends with for
such a long time. They are dedicated, hard workers and I am looking forward to
seeing where this chapter in my life will lead me."
