Tooth & Nail has announced their signing of XXI, formerly known as A Feast for Kings.
The metalcore band has chosen a new name and a slightly more melodic direction following the tragic passing of lead singer Eric Gentry one year ago today. In coordination with the announcement of their label partnership, the band debuted a
music video through AlternativePress for their song "Memories."
"Memories" is a tribute to Eric, with the music video built around themes related to his passing. Guitarist and clean vocalist Seth Weigand elaborates "as hard as it is to capture the loss we feel, the song is really about outliving someone who was such a big part of your life."
Although this past season of the band's career has been marked by tragedy, they are hopeful for what lies ahead. Drummer Carson Butcher, who has stepped into the role of lead vocals, shared "we are humbled and honored to be part of the Tooth & Nail roster. We have been talking to the label for quite a while and they have continued to support us through our tragedy and grief."

twitter to stay tuned for what lies ahead.
