Brian Burkheiser<\/a> is allegedly being blocked from releasing new music by his former band I Prevail<\/a>.<\/p>\n The\u00a0group officially announced their split with the vocalist back in May<\/a>\u00a0and confirmed that Eric Vanlerberghe<\/a> would handle all vocals moving forward. Burkheiser shared his own perspective on the matter on social media about a month later, citing communication issues and a “falling out” as the catalyst for the split.<\/p>\n Burkheiser has been teasing new material and using the moniker Scatterbrain since his departure from I Prevail was confirmed. But in a new social media post, the musician claims that his former band is blocking him from releasing new music.<\/p>\n It’s unclear at this time why Burkheiser is being prevented from sharing his new material. His social media post simply states that there is an “unresolved dispute” between I Prevail and himself.<\/p>\n “Due to an unresolved dispute with my former band I Prevail I am being blocked from releasing my new song ‘Phases’ as well as other new music,” Burkheiser\u00a0writes in the post.<\/p>\n “I’m deeply disappointed but I’m doing everything I can to move this forward. I want to thank my family, friends and most importantly my fans for their unwavering support.”<\/p>\n Burkheiser\u00a0first announced he was working on new music and referenced the name Scatterbrain in a social media post in early July. He shared a formal announcement the following day in a video with the caption, “This is my trauma. Scatterbrain has arrived. ‘Phases’ drops in August.”<\/p>\n READ MORE:\u00a010 Best Albums by Singers Who Left Big Rock + Metal Bands<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Through a series of posts, the rocker\u00a0shared that he’d gone through a manic episode around the time he wrote the song “Phases.”<\/p>\n “I wrote this song during the lower point in my life.
