From Sorrow To Serenity announce departure of vocalist Gaz King

FROM SORROW TO SERENITY have announced the departure of vocalist Gaz King!

Despite enjoying success through the release of 2019’s Reclaim and this year’s Trifecta EP, the Scottish groove metal band have announced that vocalist Gaz King has left the band.

In a statement announcing his departure, the band shares, “it is with great sadness we announce the departure of Gaz King from FROM SORROW TO SERENITY. Following five fruitful years together, it has come time for Gaz to leave music behind and start a new life for himself. Given the state of the music industry and society at present, we empathise wholeheartedly, and take solace in the fact that there is no tension between us. We would like to thank Gaz for everything he has done for FROM SORROW TO SERENITY, and we wish him the best going forward.”

Gaz shares, FSTS has been my life for the past five years, but now I think it’s time I call it a day with music and focus on myself. Ever since joining FSTS, life seemed to go at a million miles an hour. The love and bond I have with these guys is through labours of blood, sweat, and tears, but also love, laughter, and commitment to each other. We’ve toured with so many amazing bands some we’ve looked up to as kids and some we’ve grown up with and developed a bond with. We’ve been all over the world and have survived countless difficult situations only to laugh about them the next. I’ll miss the unique lifestyle for the rest of my days.”

Following on from the announcement, the band are now also seeking another vocalist and have released an online sign-up form for the search.
