From Brick:

Cody is a great singer, and a good friend as well, so it is always hard when you part ways. The reason for the change is that Cody is gone a great deal. He sings for a living, performing a lot of theater and broadway music, so it makes it hard for us to get together often. It has been hard for us to move forward and especially to play shows, and honestly that is the most enjoyable part about being a musician for me, playing live for the fans. We miss it and so we felt a new singer who could be around more would be great, the problem was we had no idea where to even begin looking for someone to replace Cody. Pretty big shoes to fill, and quite possibly the most important part of a band. Mike just fell right into the situation, we weren't even advertising that we needed a new singer. Someone gave us his number and said to call Mike if the need ever arose. So we gave him a call and to say the least, we were blown away. Mike is amazing, and I can't wait for the fans to hear him. He is a total professional and an incredibly talented singer. Finally, we can play some shows for you all, and we can really get moving forward with the new album, which by the way is getting closer all the time. I know that we are kind of pulling a Symphony X and taking forever to get this new one done and released, but progress is happening weekly, and the songs are maturing as we rehearse them over and over. Come to a show to hear some of the new music.

From Michael:

I have been a fan of Progressive Metal for many years. My influences are many, including: Dream Theater, Fates Warning, Queensryche, Megadeth and Killswitch Engage. I have been searching for a Prog Metal band for the last 3 years. Hourglass has the sound, talent and dedication I have been looking for. For all of the dedicated Hourglass fans out there: Music is my life and I am honored to be a part of Hourglass. I look forward to seeing you at the next show!

From Cody:

Unfortunately due to my career path, I am not able to live in Utah any longer. As a band we have tried to make it work to still have myself as the lead singer, but I am not able to come to Utah often enough to play as many live shows as desired. So with that, I will no longer be singing for Hourglass. I will definitely miss the band and everything associated with it, including its members, the creative process, and of course performing shows. I appreciate the last five years I have had to be a part of Hourglass and want to thank all those that helped to make it the success it is continually becoming. Mostly, I want to thank all the fans for showing their appreciation for our music and for all the support they have given us over the years. I wish Hourglass only the best with their new singer, and look forward to the future music created.
