Monte and Michael’s departure prompted further lineup changes in the band with TJ Bell moving from bass to rhythm guitar, and former bassist and founding member Max Green would be return to the band for the tour. It was later announced in an Alternative Press video featuring lead singer Craig Mabbitt that Max Green would be returning to bass permanently, and Kevin Gruft would become the new lead guitarist.[2]
