Frank Carter is to depart UK hardcore band Gallows later this month after a six year stint as the band’s lead vocalist.
Carter’s last show with the band will come on July 23rd when the band performs at the ULU in London. Carter will no doubt be giving his all in the remaining shows that he is set to play with the band, and high energy can surely be expected from the London show on the 23rd.
Despite Frank Carter’s announced departure, Gallows will be continuing with a new frontman, and with the band having spent the last few months in the studio a new studio release can surely be expected in the not too distant future.
Frank Carter had the following to say about his decision to depart Gallows:
It is with a heavy heart that I have to announce my departure from Gallows. It seems that Gallows have hit a crossroads in our writing process and unfortunately myself and the rest of the boys have different ideas regarding the sound of Gallows going forward. Gallows have decided they are going to continue on without me and I wish the boys the best of luck for the future. Gallows will be fulfilling all of our current touring plans until August 1st so please come down to a show and help me make each show a total celebration!
This does not mean I am giving up on music. I have a new band called PURE LOVE which I have been working on with my brother Jim Carroll (Suicide File, Clouds, Hope Conspiracy) for a few months now. A lot of late nights in the studio have meant that we will be recording our debut album in September and then will hit the road later this year. I hope to see you all there.
I want to say thank you to my brothers Stephen, Jonathan and Richard, my parents and the rest of the boys in Gallows for their support not only over the past few months, but the past 6 years. I also want to thank all the fans that helped us build Gallows into something I could really be proud of. Without you it would have meant nothing. Thank you all. Forwards ever, backwards never. Pure Love.
