SOLITUDE AETURNUS has recruited James-Paul Luna as the band's new vocalist.
Luna joins the long-running Texas-based doom metallers as the replacement for Robert Lowe, whose departure from the group was announced in April.
Earlier today (Saturday, August 1),SOLITUDE AETURNUS released the following statement via social media: "We are proud to announce James-Paul Luna as the new vocalist for SOLITUDE AETURNUS!
"Luna is well known for his work with HOLY GRAIL and, most recently, INTRANCED. With a commanding stage presence and years of experience, he will bring power and intensity to our live performances. His powerful yet melodic voice is a natural fit for the sound of SOLITUDE AETURNUS, and we look forward to unleashing a new chapter of doom together.
"Join us as we take the stage with James-Paul Luna for the first time at the Candelabrum Festival in León, Mexico, on September 12!"
SOLITUDE AETURNUS performed with guest singer Jason McMaster at this year's Maryland Deathfest on May 21 in Baltimore, Maryland.
SOLITUDE AETURNUS's current lineup is rounded out by John Perez (guitar),Edgar Rivera (guitar),Lyle Steadham (bass) and Logan Cade (drums).
When Lowe's exit from SOLITUDE AETURNUS was first announced four months ago, the group said that the decision to part ways was "a necessary change if we are to move forward as an active band... This was not an easy decision, of course, but we feel positive about it as we move forward with more shows and other plans.
SOLITUDE AETURNUS's latest album, "Alone", came out in 2006.
