Ignite announce new vocalist, release digital EP

Ignite

Southern California melodic hardcore unit Ignite have announced the addition of Eli Santana (Holy Grail) to their line-up on vocals. Santana replaces longtime Ignite frontman Zoltán Téglás, who quit the band in 2019.

Along with the announcement comes a new digital EP titled Anti-Complicity Anthem, available now via all digital providers. A performance video for the title track is available below.

Bassist Brett Rasmussen states, "The energy and positivity that Eli brought to the recording studio was contagious! It was an absolute breath of fresh air for all of us and reminded me of the early days of Ignite. I really can´t wait to take these songs on tour."

"Filming the video for Anti-Complicity Anthem gave us just a small taste of how fun it is going to be to play that song live and in front of people," adds drummer Craig Anderson. "It's been a while since any of us have played music in front of a crowd and we can't wait to get back on the road."

In related news, Ignite are currently working on a new album.

But is he vaccinated?

anonymous 9/17/2021 1:50:59 PM

I'd rather ignite myself than listen to this

anonymous 9/17/2021 2:14:18 PM

The guy has vocal chops, but the lyrics are cliche unfortunately. Big fan of Ignite's older material, not sure this will be able to hold up.

Zoli basically was Ignite and this just proves it. Wow, this is bad.

anonymous 9/17/2021 3:24:48 PM

Hahaha ignite yourself with Dhalsim's yoga fire technique

anonymous 9/17/2021 3:49:38 PM

White supremacists are not stoked

anonymous 9/17/2021 4:24:13 PM

This guy is like 120% better than Zoli and probably doesn't give lectures on how national socialism isn't so bad if it's implemented right

anonymous 9/17/2021 5:08:39 PM

Unless the new vocalist is Elliot Gulch after a gulch break up then I don't care

anonymous 9/17/2021 5:38:05 PM

Wtf is a digital ep?

anonymous 9/17/2021 5:46:18 PM

Vaxxed people aren't stoked. The clot shot has forced a death match over the last two brain cells that survived the ecstasy pill they took 10 years ago...

anonymous 9/17/2021 6:57:35 PM

Dude on the left looks like he is wearing four small necklaces

anonymous 9/18/2021 4:29:03 AM

Dude on the left looks like Bad Ass Billy Gunn. Guy in the middle looks like he could be Davey Havoc's dad.

anonymous 9/18/2021 6:49:42 AM

The "EP" is two songs, under 5 minutes. I paid $7.99 for this ???? FVCKKKKK

anonymous 9/18/2021 7:12:04 AM

anonymous 9/18/2021 1:22:45 PM

anonymous 9/18/2021 3:14:30 PM

Eli is cool, I'd like to hear the full album

anonymous 9/18/2021 3:33:15 PM

anonymous 9/18/2021 4:48:44 PM

Oh damn, all of these guys work at the Krogers I get my arthritis medicine at.

anonymous 9/18/2021 5:23:30 PM

Oops sorry, meant to post that on Attack Attack one

anonymous 9/19/2021 2:05:44 PM

No zoli no ignite. Change the name.

anonymous 9/19/2021 5:54:33 PM

Ignite can't shake zoli's vocal legacy. Holy grail is freaking awesome.
