Bonded By Blood Lose Singer, Get Replacement

Posted by Chris Harris on September 30, 2010 in Departures, News

Jose Barrales is out as the singer of Bonded By Blood, who’re at an important stage in their career. A new record is out there on the streets, and they’ve been touring like fucking bastards. But Jose had to go his own way.

Now, Bonded By Blood have a new singer in Mauro Gonzales. You may recognize that name…because he also fronts Mutants of War. He’ll be taking over for Jose on the band’s 2010 North American trek.

Jose decided to bounce because he’s decided he wanted to pursue a new career path. “After 5 long years of hard work and dedication our vocalist and friend Jose Barrales has decided to part ways with the band due to personal and financial reasons,” the band explains. “We all wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.”

OK. So he left to pursue a different career and because of financial reasons. The sad truth is being in a metal band doesn’t always pay the fucking bills, folks. That’s why you need to go to shows and buy copies of all the illegal albums you download from the internet.

“We have, however, moved forward and found a great replacement for the upcoming tours,” the statement continues. “He is a friend, fan and a great singer named Mauro Gonzalez from local band Mutants of War. We have been rehearsing with Mauro non-stop for the upcoming 2010 calendar and can’t wait to hit the road! Refreshed and recharged Bonded By Blood is ready to crush your face in like never before.”
