Members of Dillinger Escape Plan, Every Time I Die and Fit For An Autopsy have formed a new band, Better Lovers.
Alongside news of the new project, Greg Puciato, Jordan Buckley, Clayton “Goose” Holyoak, Stephen Micciche, and Will Putney have shared its debut single, 30 Under 13, a pummelling four-minute offering that's relentless in its ferocity. Take a look at its Eric Richter directed video below.
“Looking back, I’m so happy everything got me to where I am,” said Buckley, who confirmed Every Time I Die's split in January 2022 with a joint statement alongside Andy Williams, Stephen Micciche and Clayton Holyoak.
“The pandemic and the last few years made me hungrier and more grateful. This isn’t a hobby. This isn’t temporary. This is the next evolution for each of us," he continued. "Greg and Will rejuvenated me and made me even more confident. Now, everybody needs to know we’re a wild animal that just broke out of the zoo—there’s no trying to put it back in the cage.”
“Jordan sent me some already finished instrumental tracks, and they hit me at just the right time,” added Puciato. “Those tracks woke up a side of me that I thought was fully extinct but was merely evolving and changing. To my complete surprise, there was still something left in that area to dig at, and the vessel for it made sense.”
Grammy Award-winner Putney, who worked on the most recent Every Time I Die records, summed up the project succinctly: “It’s a group of loaded weapons all firing at full power ready for the next chapter of our music careers, and I can confidently say our collective best work is ahead of us.”
The band will make their live debut when opening for The Ghost Inside and Underoath on their summer North American tour.
