Lineup Changes and Recent Developments
Following the departure of guitarist Brandon Ellis in February 2025, Wes Hauch has stepped in to fill the role on tour. Hauch, known for his work with PERIPHERY and THE FACELESS, has been praised by Eschbach as “an amazing guitar player.” Ellis was part of THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER since 2016 and contributed to their last three albums.
Last year, Eschbach had to sit out performances at notable festivals, with Guy Kozowyk of THE RED CHORD stepping in during his absence. Despite these challenges, the band has continued to evolve and push forward.
Latest Album: “Servitude”
The band’s most recent album, “Servitude,” was released in September 2024 via Metal Blade Records and marked a significant chapter in their history. It was their first release following the tragic passing of co-founder Trevor Strnad in 2022. Eschbach transitioned from guitar to vocals, taking on the role of lead vocalist and lyricist, while former member Ryan Knight rejoined the band on guitar.
