Three more shows had been planned for their Radical Tour. The news comes a little over a month after vocalist Keith Buckley took a hiatus from the band to focus on his mental health. He had also mentioned that he was feeling “ostracized” by the group.
The band completed their remaining 2021 tour dates without him.

The story of Every Time I DIe
Formed in Buffalo, New York, in 1998 by Jordan Buckley, Andy Williams and Michael Novak, the band soon added Jordan’s brother Keith on vocals.
After a string of live shows, the group signed with Ferret Records and began recording their debut EP The Burial Plot Bidding War in 1999.
Over a span of two decades and nine studio albums, the band’s mix of alternative metal, Southern metal, and screamo became a metalcore staple.
Their final album Radical was released in October 2021.
These are indeed acrimonious circumstances, but the music and intense live performances from the band’s lifetime will live on in memory.
