As Punknews.org suggested in the original signing announcement, current AFI and former Son of Sam vocalist has declined participation in the upcoming version of the band.

Todd Youth explained:

I'm not sure if you heard but me and Steve are working on a new Son Of Sam record,we asked Davey but he declined,which is a bummer,but we understand and he gave us his full blessing with looking for a new singer.There's been some speculation on some of the Danzig/Misfits message boards who the new singer is going to be,I've heard Michale Graves,Matt Skiba,ect.ect,but we found someone who fits perfectly with the band,but we're going to keep the singer a mystery for a while.

The band's sole previous album, 2001's Songs From The Earth, was recorded with Havok.
