Millennial Reign announces the departure of their former vocalist, James Guest. James owns a commercial construction business and spends many hours a week on the road. There simply wasn’t enough time to continue writing and recording vocals, plus touring shows. We wish him much success with his business.
Millennial Reign have welcomed a brand new vocalist to their ranks. Travis Wills, who has a long standing history in the DFW metal scene and best known for his latest project ‘Infidel Rising.’
Travis had the following to say: “I’m very happy to be working with Millennial Reign and the Ulterium Records label. It began with colaborating on keyboard tracks for the new album. When James decided to leave, they asked if I was interested in doing vocals and of course I said yes. It’s a privilege to work with such a great group of guys I’ve known well over ten years.”
Millennial Reign issued the following statement: “We are extremely happy to have Travis come on board. His vocal style and writing fits the new material perfectly. We look forward to seeing you all on the road in 2018.”
Line Up:
Travis Wills – Vocals (Infidel Rising)
Dave Harvey – Guitar (Aska, Phantom-X)

Millennial Reign is currently working on the follow-up to “Carry The Fire” which has been released on October 30th, 2015 via Ulterium Records.
Millennial Reign was formed as a solo album project by ASKA bassist, Dave Harvey and the self-titled debut album was released independently in 2012. After new members joined Millennial Reign the decision was made to make Millennial Reign a full band, rather than just a recording project. “Carry The Fire” was mixed and mastered at Nomad Studio [King Diamond, Solitude Aeternus, Absu] and the artwork was created by Felipe Machado Franco [Blind Guardian, Iced Earth, Theocracy].
