Unearth's Ken Susi opens up about Unearth hiatus, will not be featured on new record
Founder and guitarist Ken Susi won't be on Unearth's new album. For now, he won't be associated with the band, as he recently revealed he's on an "extended break" because of "differences in opinion." Last week Susi answered a fan question during a livestream on his YouTube page where he took viewer questions. Rather than remain mum or give a non-answer, Susi spoke up about his position.
I am currently on a leave with Unearth. It is an extended, I guess how would you say, an extended break from Unearth. There's definitely some stuff there that is kind of – it's cool, both myself and the band have kind of come to terms with you know, our differences of opinion on certain things. I love those guys and I'm still supporting them. I hope they're still supporting me."
We went on to later clarify that he in fact will not be on the upcoming Unearth record.
I'm currently not a touring member of Unearth and I'm not featured on the record. I have one song that's on it – I don't know the name of it, I don't know how it sounds. I don't know the mix. I don't know anything about it. It is what it is.
You can watch the entire livestream below, skip to the 16:38 mark to see Ken address the user's question.

Post CommentYeah thanks for the deets Ken. I knew you werent in the band when I saw you on stage with your new BFF, Tim from As I Lay Dying. Do you guys lift together? Hopefully the new AILD album slays, godspeed on yer new shreds SU$!!!!
He deserves it. He has ruined numerous bands, due to his own ego. Does anyone really care?
$$$ VS Less $$$ … I am friends with not only artists, labels but management in this scenario. It's a 'We Should have been as Big as What I'm playing in Now. Which is sad.
Ken Sushi is not stoked. He will never again touch the glory of the Sweatpant Boners.
probably trevor's climate change fanaticism he's been whining about since oncoming storm
this one is obvious. aild makes more money, tours hit larger venues, they headline and sell more splatter vinyl. unearth is billed below rivers of nihl currently
Guy chose a third rate metalcore band over a fourth rate metalcore band. Makes sense.
unearth peaked years ago. no one can fault suzi for wanting to level up from second tier to tier-1 metalcore with Tim Lambs Thesis. Backtard.
This one is definitely obvious. Ken wants to oil up man tits Tim before they play every night. He does have excellent pectorals, so who can blame him? Why would he stay in Unearth and oil up Trevor's soggy egg yolk tits.
Imagine being a band for 25 years and have to open for Rivers of Gayhill. Of course he's jumping ship lol
Tim Lambesis: Hi, guys. We're going on a national bikini tour, and we're looking for two oil boys who can grease us off before each competition.

susi is the definition of medium talent. dude dips his fingers in everything and still can't figure shit out. unearth is smart to stay as far away from him as possible. you can tell buz wrote all their good stuff.
Nothing more hilarious than a nu-jack in hiding. Always trying to oust themselves with the retarded shit they say.
In other words: I'm a "stop the steal" fanatic who sent people the "Plandemic" video during the height of COVID and my bandmates are well-adjusted adults who don't get their news from political Facebook memes.
