I Prevail Split With Founding Vocalist Brian Burkheiser
I Prevail have announced they have split with founding member and vocalist Brian Burkheiser. Rhythm guitarist Dylan Bowman will take over singing while co-vocalist Eric Vanlerberghe will continue handling the screams.
The band revealed the news on their social media channels, saying Burkheiser and the group reached a mutual agreement that they should part ways.
“Today we share that we are mutually parting ways with Brian Burkheiser. This was a difficult decision, but we believe it is the right one and we are all grateful for the 10 epic years we shared together. We wish Brian nothing but success and happiness in his future endeavors.”
The statement continues: “Moving forward, Eric will continue to be the powerhouse frontman you’ve come to know and love. He’ll be backed up live by Dylan who you’ve seen in this role many times over the years at the shows we’ve performed without Brian. Rest assured, we will continue to deliver the high-energy shows that we’ve made a pillar of our band, and we will continue to perform all the bangers from our catalogue. All scheduled shows will go on exactly as planned.”
Burkheiser previously stepped back from the band due to battle Eagle’s syndrome, a disorder caused by an elongated or misshapen bone below the ear. This disorder causes severe nerve-like pain in the jawbone and joint, back of the throat, and base of the tongue, triggered by swallowing, moving the jaw, or turning the neck.
