Biography[edit]
The World Alive formed in 2006 in Phoenix as side project for Craig Mabbitt, lead vocalist for Escape The Fate. On November 26, 2008 The Word Alive posted a blog on their official MySpace, telling fans that they have made the decision to replace Craig due to complications with his other band Escape the Fate. They explain that their decision to replace Craig was a tough one and that it was nothing personal. The blog stated,
"...we decided we'd move forward without Craig, [and] the search began for the right member to help us pursue our dreams with. That search is over, and we've never felt more complete as a band. He definitely brings our band to a new level and steps up to the challenge, like we feel only he could." We want all of you to know that we love Craig, and that under different circumstances we'd be happily touring together. This wasn't how the vision of the band began, however, it's one we are very happy with. We support Craig completely, and have no bad feelings towards his decision. We do hope that you can accept and love us for being willing to follow our dreams no matter what."
The day after, however, Craig Mabbitt posted a message to his fans via his official MySpace saying what seems to be the exact opposite,
"Leaving the band was never my decision, they pretty much replaced me while I was on the road due to the fact that they wanted to tour and couldn't until I was available, I started that band with those guys and I'm very hurt at how they replaced me while I was touring...it's bullshit"
Tyler Smith was hired in 2009 and they recorder their EP Empire in June. They are currently writing their upcomming album.
