In Hearts Wake Bid Farewell To Bassist Kyle Erich - Share New Single/Video "Farewell"

After twelve years creating music beloved by a loyal fanbase across the world, today In Hearts Wake announce the departure of long-time bassist and vocalist, Kyle Erich.

In conjunction with today's news, In Hearts Wake deliver a brand new track, fittingly titled Farewell; a poignant cap put on Erich’s time with the band, laced with emotional tension and catharsis.

Though Erich’s departure signifies a dynamic shift for In Hearts Wake, their split has been amicable; both are anticipating bright futures as they continue on separate paths. After going through the motions of any break-up - from sadness and heartbreak, through to acceptance - In Hearts Wake and Erich are now ready to celebrate with the release of Farewell and their upcoming final run of headline shows together.

The process of creating Farewell doubled as a healthy way of processing Erich’s impending departure from the band; a moment for him to be involved in his exit in a way that perfectly put a pin in his time with his bandmates. It is this very reason Farewell has a spirit of closure to it, because this is exactly what it represents: a beautiful, monumental chapter coming to an close for Erich and In Hearts Wake alike.
