Better Lovers Parts Ways with Greg Puciato
In a completely unexpected announcement made via social media just moments ago, metalcore outfit Better Lovers announced that they have parted ways with vocalist Greg Puciato. Details as to why the split happened are scarce at this moment, so all we have to go off of at this time is the band’s statement.
“Better Lovers is parting ways with Greg Puciato.
“We’re proud of the work we’ve done together but we are moving in another direction.
“To all of our fans, thank you for riding with us these past few years. We’ve accomplished so much in such a short time with your support and we’re still beyond excited to continue down this road with you.
“The four of us are finishing writing a new album which we are extremely proud of and currently looking for a new singer.
“Thanks for your understanding, we’ll see you soon.”
Better Lovers have been working on their sophomore full-length album and follow up the their critically acclaimed debut Highly Irresponsible since last July. It makes you wonder how far along in the process they are and if they have been forced to scrap Puciato’s contributions to their work now that they’ve parted ways.
Ever since the band’s inception in 2023, Better Lovers has been comprised of ex-Every Time I Die members Jordan Buckley, Clayton “Goose” Holyoak, and Stephen Micciche, Fit for an Autopsy‘s Will Putney, and ex-The Dillinger Escape Plan vocalist Greg Puciato. Today’s announcement is a major shift that will likely drastically alter the band’s sound.
Just last week, Puciato announced that he was going on tour with The Black Queen. As of this posting, Puciato has yet to issue a statement of his own. If he does, we will update the story accordingly.

Official IRON MAIDEN Documentary “Burning Ambition” Will Debut In Theaters This May
Fifty years into one of metal’s greatest stories, Iron Maiden is finally getting the documentary treatment they deserve. Trafalgar Releasing has confirmed that the official feature-length film — now titled Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition — will have a limited theatrical run beginning May 7, 2026. Tickets go on sale March 18.
Directed by Malcolm Venville (Churchill At War) and produced by Dominic Freeman (Spirits In The Forest – A Depeche Mode Film), the film charts the band’s five-decade journey from the backstreets of East London to arenas across 64 countries. That’s 17 studio albums, 100 million records sold, and nearly 2,500 live shows — a catalogue of ambition that earns the title.
What makes Burning Ambition more than a greatest-hits highlight reel is its roster of contributors. Alongside the band themselves, the documentary features on-camera reflections from Javier Bardem, Lars Ulrich, and Chuck D — three figures from wildly different corners of culture, each speaking to the kind of cross-generational, cross-genre reach that very few rock bands ever achieve.
The key art, created by Albert “Akirant” Quirantes, offers the first visual look at the project and has already been making the rounds online.
The timing is no accident. The film arrives mid-way through the band’s two-year “Run For Your Lives” world tour, a campaign that included a homecoming show at London Stadium, barely a few miles from where Steve Harris first put the band together in 1975. More landmark events follow: EddFest, a one-off celebration at Knebworth Park on July 11, anchors a schedule of over 50 dates worldwide across 2026.
This is a band in the middle of their biggest victory lap yet, and Burning Ambition is the document to match it. Head to ironmaidenfilm.com for more information.
