Craigafer(or maybe it's just Craig)
Mabbit hails from Pheonix Arizona. Craig used to be the frontman of the
post-hardcore/metal band called Blessthefall, he was(and still is) the
frontman with the haunting, crisp, epic, but soft and harmonic singing
voice. But after some hard times in his life, Craig decided he needed a
little break and he needed to go home. So during Blessthefall's 2007
European Tour with Silverstein and The Vincent Black Shadow, Craig left
temporarily due to personal problems. When Craig decided he was ready
to go back to Blessthefall, he AIMed Eric Lambert(guitarist of
Blessthefall) and Eric's reply was, "We don't want you back in the
band." After many tries to get back into the band, he decided he was
going to front A Skylit Drive(post-hardcore/metal band from Lodi,
California). Somewhere within that time, he made a phone call to Escape
The Fate's manager(Joey/One Moment Management), this phone call was an
accident, and some words were exchanged while Craig asked Joey how
things were going with Escape The Fate. Joey informed Craig that Escape
The Fate were on the brink of breaking up, and that they were
singer-less due to Ronnie Radke(ex lead vocalist for ETF)'s
not-so-smart stunts. Craig then decided that he would pitch in and help
them play shows for a while, he would help them until they were ready
to get back on their feet. So Craig practiced with the band(Max
Green-Bass/Vocals, Robert Ortiz-Drums, and Bryan-Guitar/Vocals) and
learned some lyrics, because I'm sure he already knew a few from
touring with the band in the past while fronting Blessthefall(Black On
Black Tour). Pretty soon Craig was able to play a show with them at the
sports/music festival held in Las Vegas(ETF's hometown), called Extreme
Thing. Craig got many boo's and many insults from the fans, but he kept
strong and just held his head up and did his job greatly, which is
possibly one of the reasons why so many people look up to him and are
inspired by him, because of him having to go through with that, but
still performing so greatly and staying so strong. Craig was born on
April 9th, 1987 In Glendale, Arizona at the Good Samaritans Hospital at
9:50 AM. From then, his parents named him Craig(or maybe it was
Craigafer) Edward Mabbit. His nationalities are Spanish and Irish. As
of this current day, he lives in Pheonix Arizona and has a beatiful
daughter named Leila Rose Mabbit.In an interview a while ago, Craig
stated that he enjoyed "slaying noobz" with Matt
Good(Guitarist/Vocalist of From First To Last) and if he weren't in the
music business he'd be a stay at home dad.

On December 15, 2007 Blessthefall posted a blog on their MySpace saying
they parted ways with Mabbitt. Mabbitt posted a bulletin on his
personal myspace stating his willingness to return to the band. They
have not yet stated who will be Mabbitt's replacement. In February
2008, Mabbit became the replacement lead singer for one of
Blessthefall's tour friends, Escape the Fate. In May 2008, Escape the
Fate announced Mabbitt had joined them for the recording of their next
album.

The rest of the band will be on the winter North American run of
the worldwide Taste of Chaos tour starting in late February and
concluding in late April. Others on the tour are Idiot Pilot, Bullet
for My Valentine, Atreyu, and headliner Avenged Sevenfold.

Warth switched to recording vocals for the band's new CD while
Aiden, a friend of the band, filled in on bass. Aiden will continue to
fill in on bass until Blessthefall finds a new vocalist. Many new
replacement singers have been rumored to be candidates, including
Ronnie Radke (Escape the Fate{NV}), Shan Dan (Caecelia{AZ}), Jordan
(Skylit Drive{CA}), Hailey Briggs, and Ash (Sleepers {AU}) (yet no
confirmation has been provided).
