This War is Ours, produced by John Feldman (The Used, Story of the Year) dropped in October. The album introduced frontman Craig Mabbit, formerly of Blessthefall, in place of Escape The Fate vocalist Ronnie Radke, who was sentenced to a four-year jail term in August. In 2005 Escape The Fate won a radio contest judged by My Chemical Romance and opened for the band on tour.
“We’ve been through a lot of sh– this last year, and we took all that anger, frustration and sadness and molded it into an album with huge rock choruses, in-your-face riffs and melodies, and drums that will give your parents a heart attack,” bassist Max Green said.
