As Anberlin continues their celebration of ‘Never Take Friendship Personal’, the alternative outfit surprised fans this morning with the release of ‘Nevertake’, a reimagined version of quintessential album celebrating its twenty year anniversary, now featuring Matty Mullins on vocals. To give fans a taste of what’s to come, the band shared a music video for ‘A Day Late’ earlier this month, directed by Jacob Moniz and Nate Young, the music video was filmed at the start of tour.
Vocalist Matty Mullins shares: “‘Never Take Friendship Personal’ was the soundtrack to my life when I was 17. It shaped the most crucial years of my early music career. To now have the opportunity to step into the role of vocalist for the band that inspired me is beyond surreal. Re-recording this album with my own voice has been a full-circle moment and an absolute dream come true. We’ve poured our hearts into honoring the original while giving it new life, I can’t wait for both longtime fans and new listeners to experience it in this way.”
A force in alternative rock for more than two decades, Anberlin recently unveiled their full length album, ‘Vega’, on August 2nd via Equal Vision Records. This highly anticipated release is the first proper record since announcing the touring departure of vocalist Stephen Christian and the addition of Memphis May Fire’s Matty Mullins. The twelve-tracks, deliberately free-flowing, represent the diverse nature of Anberlin; with a handful of much heavier tracks, a dabble into industrial exploration, as well as the quintessential mellow vibes Anberlin fans have come to love over the band’s expansive career.
