Long-running Texas-based doom metallers SOLITUDE AETURNUS have parted ways with vocalist Robert Lowe.

The band, which returned to activity in 2024, has played sporadic live shows in the last couple of years, including at the Up The Hammers festival in Greece this past March.

The band's members issued a statement via social media on April 28: "To all our dedicated and loyal fans, we have some significant news to share.

After much consideration, the band has decided to part ways with vocalist Robert Lowe.

No doubt this will come as a shock to everyone, but we feel this is a necessary change if we are to move forward as an active band." The statement continues: "We would like to thank Robert for his years of amazing work with the band, and wish him the best in any and all of his future endeavors.

This was not an easy decision, of course, but we feel positive about it as we move forward with more shows and other plans." A temporary guest vocalist has been named, Jason McMaster, who has previously worked with bands such as WATCHTOWER and ACCEPT.

SOLITUDE AETURNUS will continue to perform at the Maryland Deathfest on May 21.

This news comes after a year since their latest album release.

Formed in 1987, SOLITUDE AETURNUS began after Perez quit his former seminal thrash metal band ROTTING CORPSE.

The band has undergone several lineup changes over the years, and have released several albums including "Alone" in 2006.

SOLITUDE AETURNUS's next move remains to be seen, but fans can expect them to continue bringing heavy music with their new lineup.
